What is a Nightguard?

A nightguard is a type of dental appliance that you wear while you sleep. It looks like a thin mouth guard that sits over your teeth. We fabricate each nightguard and it will protect your teeth from grinding or teeth clenching while you sleep.

Many people have habits of grinding their teeth at night without realizing it. This is called bruxism. During bruxism, your teeth wear down and lead to soreness in your jaw muscles. Nightguards work as a cushion between your upper teeth and your lower teeth.

How Nightguards Help You

Nightguards provide many benefits for your mouth and health:

Protect Your Teeth

When grinding teeth at night, teeth cracking or chipping is possible if you do not wear a nightguard, which prevents this damage.

Reduce Jaw Pain

When you grind your teeth at night, your jaw muscles become overworked – causing pain and stiffness. A nightguard allows your jaw muscles to relax.

Stop Headaches

Many headaches come from tension in your jaw muscles. When relief is given to your jaw muscles with a nightguard, often your headaches are gone too!

Improved Sleep

With no pain and no teeth-grinding noises, you and your family will sleep better.

Save Money

Fixing your damaged teeth costs a lot of money. Wearing a nightguard prevents damage and saves you money in the long run.

TMJ Treatment

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint disorder. This is when your jaw joint simply does not work as it should. This can cause clicking sounds, jaw pain, and/or difficulty opening your mouth. Our dentist near you will examine your bite and the movement of the jaw. We determine problems creating TMJ pain. We will then create a special appliance that helps your jaw work better and that reduces your pain in the face, neck, and head.
