Many people clench or grind their teeth without realizing it, especially while sleeping. Over time, this can place stress on your teeth and jaw, even if you don’t feel symptoms right away. Some patients notice jaw soreness, facial tension, or tooth sensitivity, while others feel fine and only discover the effects during a routine dental exam.
Dental nightguards are designed to protect your teeth from this wear on your teeth and help your jaw relax, allowing you to wake up feeling more comfortable and confident about your smile.
A nightguard acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, limiting the impact of grinding and clenching. By gently repositioning the bite and absorbing pressure, a nightguard helps reduce strain on the jaw muscles and joints while protecting the enamel of your teeth.
Many patients are surprised at how such a simple solution when worn consistently can make a noticeable difference in comfort and peace of mind.
Dental nightguards are custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably and securely. Impressions are taken so the guard fits precisely, making it easy to wear through the night without feeling bulky or intrusive. Because it’s designed specifically for your bite, a custom nightguard offers more reliable protection than over-the-counter options.
By protecting your teeth from excessive wear, a nightguard helps maintain enamel, reduce sensitivity, and support long-term oral health. Many patients also find that their jaw feels more relaxed over time, helping them start the day without tension or soreness.
