Teeth clenching and grinding can damage teeth and be harmful to one’s long-term oral health. Night guards are recommended to protect patients who clench or grind their teeth during the night. These custom-designed appliances are made of flexible plastic and molded to comfortably fit the shape of your teeth. Custom-made oral appliances can also be used as part of treatment for conditions like sleep apnea and TMJ disorders. In general, plastic appliances can be used to correct a variety of problems. Why Wear a Night Guard? Prevents Teeth Grinding & Clenching – A night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing excessive wear and damage. Reduces Jaw Pain & TMJ Issues – By easing the pressure on your jaw muscles and joints, a night guard can help alleviate pain and reduce the risk of TMJ disorders. Protects Enamel & Dental Work – Grinding can weaken enamel and damage crowns, veneers, and fillings. A night guard helps preserve your natural teeth and dental restorations. Decreases Headaches & Facial Tension – Many people with bruxism experience frequent headaches and facial pain due to muscle strain. A night guard reduces tension and promotes relaxation. Improves Sleep Quality – Grinding and clenching can disrupt sleep, leading to fatigue and restlessness. A night guard helps you sleep more comfortably and wake up feeling refreshed.
