Bruxism, or teeth grinding and jaw clenching, often occurs at night and can cause jaw pain, headaches, and dental damage. Stress, anxiety, or misaligned teeth are common triggers.
A custom night guard helps alleviate these issues by keeping your jaws apart, preventing muscle strain, TMJ pressure, and tooth damage. It also promotes better sleep.

Night guards are custom-made dental appliances designed to be worn while sleeping. They protect your teeth from the damage caused by grinding or clenching, and help reduce associated jaw pain and headaches by keeping your jaws slightly apart.
If you frequently wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sore teeth, you may have bruxism (teeth grinding). A dentist can evaluate your symptoms, examine your teeth, and recommend a night guard if necessary.
Custom-made night guards are designed for a snug, comfortable fit based on your unique dental structure. While there may be an adjustment period, most patients find them comfortable and easy to wear throughout the night.
Clean your night guard daily with a toothbrush and mild soap, and store it in a dry, ventilated case. Regular dental check-ups will also ensure that your night guard remains in good condition and continues to fit properly.
