Do I Need a Night Guard?

Do you wake up with a sore jaw or headaches? Notice wear on your teeth? These could be signs that you're grinding or clenching your teeth while sleeping, a condition known as bruxism.

Common symptoms of night grinding include:

• Worn or chipped teeth
• Jaw pain or tightness
• Headaches upon waking
• Tooth sensitivity
• Disrupted sleep or snoring

Bruxism can lead to serious dental issues over time, including cracked teeth, gum recession, and TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction. A custom-fitted night guard helps cushion and protect your teeth while you sleep.

What Is a Custom Night Guard?

A night guard is a removable oral appliance, typically worn while sleeping, that protects your teeth from the pressure and damage caused by grinding or clenching.

There are two main types:

• Upper arch guards (most common)
• Lower arch guards (used in specific cases)

Unlike store-bought guards, a custom-fit night guard is:

• Molded precisely to your bite
• Thinner and more comfortable
• Longer-lasting
• More effective at preventing jaw tension and tooth damage

We design our night guards to feel natural in your mouth so that you can sleep better, without jaw strain or dental wear.

Our Night Guard Process: Simple, Quick, Comfortable

Here’s what to expect during your night guard appointment:

1. Consultation: We evaluate your symptoms and check for signs of grinding or TMJ.
2. Digital Impressions: We take an exact mold of your teeth for a precise fit.
3. Custom Lab Fabrication: Your night guard is made from durable, high-quality material.
4. Fitting Appointment: You’ll try it on and receive adjustments if needed.
5. Care Instructions: We’ll teach you how to clean, store, and maintain your guard.

Night Guards vs. Over-the-Counter Options

While drugstore night guards may seem convenient, they often cause more problems than they solve. These "boil-and-bite" versions are bulky, prone to shifting, and can even alter your bite.

Custom night guards provide:

• Better comfort
• Longer lifespan
• Proper jaw alignment
• Reduced risk of irritation

Think of it as protecting your smile with equipment that actually fits, because one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to your oral health.
