Night Guard

Dental device designed to protect the teeth and jaw from the effects of bruxism

A Night Guard is a dental device designed to protect the teeth and jaw from the effects of bruxism, which is the habit of grinding or clenching the teeth during the night. This type of guard is primarily used to prevent dental damage and alleviate the pain associated with these practices.

Night Guard

Benefits

Dental Protection

The night guard acts as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing enamel wear and protecting against fractures and chipping.

Pain Relief

Using a night guard can help alleviate tension in the jaw muscles, reducing pain and discomfort associated with bruxism.

Improved Sleep

By reducing bruxism and its effects, a night guard can enhance the quality of sleep, which in turn has a positive impact on overall well-being and daily energy levels.

When to visit the dentist?

• Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
• Jaw pain and tension
• Chronic headaches
• Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders

Consequences

Without protection, the constant grinding and clenching associated with bruxism can lead to worn teeth, fractures, and even broken fillings. This damage typically requires extensive dental work to repair.

Not using a night guard means individuals may continue to experience symptoms such as jaw pain, facial discomfort, and headaches.

Without a night guard, individuals may experience disruptions in their sleep due to the discomfort or pain caused by bruxism.
