Night Guards

Custom-made night guards to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching. Reduce TMJ pain and prevent tooth damage.

Night Guards

Overview

Night guards are custom-made oral appliances worn during sleep to protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching. They create a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage to tooth enamel, reducing jaw muscle tension, and alleviating TMJ pain. Unlike over-the-counter guards, our custom night guards are precisely fitted to your teeth for optimal comfort and effectiveness.

Treatment Process

Getting a custom night guard involves taking impressions of your teeth, which are used to create a precise model. The guard is then fabricated from durable materials and custom-fitted to your bite. We'll adjust it to ensure optimal comfort and function. You'll wear the guard every night, and it should be cleaned daily. With proper care, a custom night guard can last 3-5 years or longer.
