Night Guards are custom-designed dental appliances created to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching, a condition known as bruxism. Bruxism can cause a variety of issues, including tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and even temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. A night guard acts as a protective barrier, preventing direct contact between your upper and lower teeth during sleep.

Night Guards are typically made from durable, medical-grade materials and are custom-fitted to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness. They come in different styles, such as soft, hard, or dual-layer designs, depending on the severity of your condition.

In addition to protecting your teeth, wearing a night guard can alleviate pressure on the jaw muscles and reduce the risk of long-term dental complications. If you frequently wake up with jaw pain or notice signs of enamel wear, consulting your dentist about a night guard may be the first step toward relief and improved oral health.
