Night guards are custom oral appliances worn during sleep to protect teeth and jaw joints from the effects of grinding and clenching. A night guard for grinding teeth creates a protective barrier that helps reduce excessive pressure and prevent tooth wear. Unlike store-bought options, a professionally made dental night guard is designed to fit your bite precisely for better comfort and effectiveness. Custom fabrication allows the appliance to sit securely in place throughout the night. This tailored approach helps support long-term dental and jaw health.
A dental night guard works by cushioning the teeth and reducing the force generated by grinding or clenching during sleep. It helps distribute pressure more evenly across the jaw, minimizing stress on teeth, restorations, and jaw joints. Impressions are taken to ensure the night guard fits accurately and aligns properly with your bite. Once fitted, the appliance is easy to wear and adapt to as part of your nightly routine. Consistent use helps protect your smile and support long-term oral health.
