Night guards are an effective solution for protecting your teeth and jaw from the effects of nighttime grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism. At our office, we provide custom-fitted night guards designed to improve your comfort and safeguard your oral health. If you experience symptoms of bruxism, a personalized night guard may be the solution you need.
What Are Night Guards?
A night guard is a durable oral appliance worn over your teeth while you sleep. Its primary purpose is to create a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage caused by grinding or clenching. Custom night guards are made to fit your mouth precisely, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness.
Dr. Marc J. Lindbeck takes detailed impressions of your teeth to design a night guard tailored to your specific needs. This personalized approach ensures that your night guard stays in place throughout the night and provides the maximum protection your teeth require.
Benefits of Using a Night Guard
Wearing a night guard offers a range of benefits for patients experiencing bruxism, including:
- Preventing Tooth Damage: Shields teeth from wear, cracks and fractures.
- Relieving Jaw Pain: Reduces tension and discomfort caused by clenching.
- Improving Sleep Quality: Minimizes disruptions caused by grinding noises.
- Protecting Dental Work: Safeguards crowns, veneers and other restorations.
- Reducing Headaches: Alleviates headaches linked to jaw strain.
A custom night guard is an essential investment in your oral health and overall comfort. It addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term risks associated with bruxism.
