Grinding and clenching your teeth while you sleep can cause jaw pain, and fractured, or loosened teeth. At Lifeworks Dental, our dentists can help prevent these problems with custom night guards. These protective devices are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth, preventing damage to your teeth and reducing the discomfort associated with teeth grinding and clenching.
What Are Night Guards?
Night guards are custom-made dental appliances worn over your teeth while you sleep. They act as a protective barrier, absorbing the pressure and preventing the harmful effects of grinding (bruxism) and clenching. These guards are tailored to fit your mouth perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Benefits of Custom Night Guards
- Protects Teeth: Night guards prevent the wear and tear on your teeth caused by grinding and clenching, reducing the risk of fractures and loosened teeth.
- Relieves Jaw Pain: By reducing the pressure on your jaw, night guards help alleviate pain and discomfort associated with bruxism and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
- Prevents Dental Damage: Regular use of a night guard can prevent costly dental repairs caused by the continuous grinding of teeth.
- Improves Sleep Quality: Reducing the effects of bruxism can lead to better sleep quality and overall well-being.
How We Create Custom Night Guards
- Consultation: During your consultation, our dentists will evaluate your teeth and jaw to determine if a night guard is the right solution for you.
- Impressions: We will take precise impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit night guard. These impressions ensure that the guard fits comfortably and securely.
- Fabrication: Your custom night guard is fabricated in a dental laboratory using high-quality materials designed for durability and comfort.
