Night Guard
Night Guards for a Restful Sleep and Healthy Smile:
At our dental office, we understand the importance of a good night's sleep and its impact on your overall well-being. Night guards, also known as dental splints or occlusal guards, are a simple yet effective solution we offer to address issues related to teeth grinding and clenching, scientifically known as bruxism.
What is a Night Guard?
A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance crafted from durable materials, tailored to fit your teeth precisely. Worn comfortably while sleeping, it acts as a protective barrier, preventing the grinding and clenching of teeth. By creating a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, night guards absorb the force, protecting your enamel, reducing stress on your jaw joints, and ensuring a peaceful night’s sleep.
Benefits of Night Guards:
1. Prevent Tooth Damage: Night guards shield your teeth from wear and tear caused by grinding, preserving your enamel and preventing fractures or chipping.
2. Relieve Jaw Pain: By minimizing the pressure on your jaw joints, night guards alleviate discomfort and pain associated with bruxism.
3. Minimize Headaches: Bruxism often leads to headaches. Night guards help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches related to teeth grinding.
4. Improve Sleep Quality: By preventing disruptions caused by grinding noises, night guards contribute to better sleep quality for you and your partner.
