What is a Nightguard?
A Nightguard is a custom-made oral appliance designed to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of teeth grinding and clenching, medically known as bruxism. This common condition often occurs during sleep, leading to dental problems such as worn enamel, tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, and headaches. The Nightguard acts as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the pressure and friction caused by grinding and clenching and helping to preserve your natural teeth and oral health.
Why Choose a Nightguard?
Choosing a Nightguard offers a proactive solution to protect your teeth and prevent the negative consequences of bruxism. Our custom-fitted Nightguards are carefully crafted to provide a comfortable and precise fit, ensuring optimal effectiveness and minimal disruption during sleep. By selecting a Nightguard, you can safeguard your teeth, alleviate jaw pain, and wake up refreshed, knowing you've taken a proactive step toward preserving your smile.
Nightguard Procedure
The process of getting a Nightguard involves a simple and painless procedure. First, your dentist will thoroughly examine any signs of bruxism or dental issues related to teeth grinding. If you are diagnosed with bruxism, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom Nightguard tailored to your mouth's specific shape and size. Once the Nightguard is ready, you will be fitted with it, and your dentist will ensure it provides a comfortable fit, allowing you to sleep soundly with added dental protection.
Am I a candidate?
If you experience symptoms such as worn tooth surfaces, jaw pain, headaches, or tooth sensitivity, you may be a candidate for a Nightguard. A comprehensive dental evaluation will help determine if bruxism is the cause of your symptoms. Whether you grind or clench your teeth during the day or mainly at night, a custom Nightguard can be the ideal solution to protect your teeth from further damage.
Post Treatment Care
Following the delivery of your Nightguard, it is essential to wear it as instructed by your dentist, usually during sleep. Regularly clean your Nightguard by rinsing it with water and brushing it with a toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, as it can cause the appliance to lose its shape. Store your Nightguard in its protective case when not in use. Regular dental check-ups will allow your dentist to monitor your Nightguard's condition and overall oral health, ensuring you continue to enjoy the benefits of this protective dental appliance.
