Knowing When It Is Time for a Night Guard

Bruxism is a common disorder that affects a large percentage of United States residents, including children. Bruxism is the term used to describe the grinding and clenching of teeth. Most people are not aware that they grind their teeth because it often occurs while sleeping. Night guards are prescribed to prevent damage to the teeth, such as cracking, chipping, and flattening. A night guard will also relieve you from the pain associated with clenching and grinding your teeth. Some of the significant signs that it is time for a night guard include:

Teeth Clenching or Grinding
Worn Tooth Enamel
Sleep Disturbances
Tooth Sensitivity
Headaches
Jaw Pain
Earaches

Prevent Future Jaw Disorders With Custom Mouth Guards

There are numerous benefits to using a custom-made night guard while you sleep. Night guards fight against the painful side effects of clenching and grinding your teeth. With our custom night guards, you will be better protected from:

Jaw Disorders — Jaw disorders, such as TMJ Dysfunction, can occur after prolonged bruxism. TMJ Dysfunction is usually identified by a cracking or popping sound when the mouth is opened and closed. With the help of a night guard, you can protect your mouth and jaw from developing other disorders.

Tooth Damage — Your jaw is powerful. The pressure applied to your teeth when you grind and clench can lead to cracking, breaking, flattening, and loosening of your teeth, which then leads to further tooth damage and sensitivity.

Sleep Disturbances — When you clench your jaw and grind your teeth at night, it can cause pain and noise that can wake you up. If the grinding is loud enough, it could even disturb your partner. A night guard can help both of you get the good night’s rest you deserve,

Swelling of the Jaw — When you grind your teeth regularly, the extra pressure causes your jaw to swell and become uncomfortable.

Frequent Headaches — The grinding and clenching of your jaw creates tension and pressure that leads to frequent migraines and headaches.

Tension Pain — With the excessive force that your jaw creates, a lot of tension is created. The pain caused can be felt throughout the jaw, face, neck, and back.

The impressions are then used to create an accurate night guard that will fit precisely on your teeth. The night guard is made of durable plastic material to ensure that it will last for years. After the night guard is created, our dental professionals will check to make sure that it fits correctly.
