Custom night guards are designed to protect your teeth from damage caused by nighttime grinding or clenching, a condition known as bruxism. These custom-fitted appliances act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing tension in the jaw and preventing wear or fractures.

Wearing a night guard helps safeguard your smile, minimize discomfort, and promote better sleep quality.

You may benefit from a custom night guard if you experience:

• Jaw pain or tightness upon waking
• Frequent headaches or tension around the temples
• Tooth wear, flattening, or chipping
• Sensitivity due to enamel loss
• Discomfort in the jaw joint (TMJ)
• Clenching or grinding noises noticed by a partner

Even mild teeth grinding can lead to enamel damage and long-term dental complications. A properly fitted night guard helps protect against these issues.

Custom night guards provide greater comfort, protection, and durability compared to over-the-counter options.

Benefits include:

• Prevents tooth wear, fractures, and enamel erosion
• Reduces jaw tension, soreness, and headaches
• Promotes relaxed jaw muscles during sleep
• Provides a secure, comfortable fit
• Helps preserve restorations like crowns and fillings

Each night guard is made specifically for your bite using high-quality, BPA-free materials that ensure comfort and longevity.
