The financial impact of untreated bruxism can be severe, leading to thousands of dollars in restorative dental work. According to Sleeping Bruxism Treatment Market Size reports, the splints and mouthguards category remains the largest revenue generator. While over-the-counter options are available, custom-fitted professional guards represent the bulk of the market value because they offer superior protection and better long-term outcomes, preventing expensive fractures and enamel wear.
