If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching), TMJ disorder, or a related issue, our dentist may recommend a custom night guard. These oral appliances are designed to protect your teeth and prevent further damage while you sleep.
Many people are unaware they have bruxism because it often occurs at night.
Night Guards Help With Common Bruxism Signs
- Chronic jaw pain
- Facial or ear pain
- Jaw tightness or fatigue, especially upon waking
- Frequent headaches or migraines, particularly in the morning
- Worn, flattened, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Indentations on the sides of the tongue
- Gum recession and increased tooth sensitivity
Wearing a night guard helps protect your teeth and improve oral health by preventing your teeth from grinding against each other. Each night guard is custom-made for a comfortable fit and effective protection. Once the damage is halted, our dental team can assess the extent of wear and create a personalized treatment plan to restore your teeth and overall oral health.
