A night guard is a special type of mouthguard that is used to treat bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching. If our dentist or team suspect that you suffer from bruxism, we may recommend a nightguard to protect your teeth from damage and prevent teeth grinding while you sleep. Many people who suffer from bruxism are unaware of the condition because it occurs while they sleep. Common signs of nighttime teeth clenching and grinding include:
If you notice the signs of bruxism, you may benefit from a custom night guard. This night guard will be made to fit your smile comfortably and effectively, allowing you to sleep peacefully while protecting your teeth. We invite you to contact us today to learn more about night guards and how we can prevent the negative effects of teeth grinding. We are dedicated to providing the best possible care for your smile.
The lifespan of a night guard depends on the severity of your bruxism and the material of the guard. On average, night guards last between 3 to 5 years, but it’s essential to bring your guard to your dental appointments for regular checks. If you notice signs of wear, cracks, or discomfort, it’s time to consider a replacement.
A properly fitted night guard should not change your bite. It is designed to protect your teeth without altering your natural bite alignment. Our custom night guards are carefully crafted to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that does not interfere with your bite or jaw position.
No matter what your needs or goals for your smile may be, our dentists and teams are here to help. We look forward to meeting you and every member of your family and helping you take your first steps to better smiles.
