Night Guards

Night guards are a valuable dental appliance designed to protect your teeth and jaw from the effects of teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching.

Key Benefits of Night Guards:

Preventing Tooth Wear:
- Night guards act as a protective barrier, preventing the surfaces of your teeth from wearing down due to grinding or clenching.
Alleviating Jaw Pain:
- Bruxism can lead to jaw pain and discomfort. Night guards help alleviate stress on the jaw joint, reducing pain associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Reducing Headaches:
- Teeth grinding can contribute to tension headaches. Night guards help minimize the impact of bruxism, reducing the frequency and intensity of headaches.
Protecting Dental Work:
- If you have crowns, bridges, or other dental restorations, night guards help protect these investments from the effects of grinding and clenching.
