bite plate

A bite plate is a removable dental appliance worn in the mouth, typically to correct bite alignment, protect teeth from grinding, or aid orthodontic treatment.
It fits against the roof of the mouth or covers the biting surfaces, creating a barrier between upper and lower teeth: The dentist fitted her with a bite plate to prevent jaw clenching at night.
