Wondering about Night Guards? Discover their purpose in safeguarding your teeth while you sleep.
Night guards, also known as occlusal guards or bite splints, are dental appliances designed to alleviate issues related to teeth grinding or bruxism during sleep. Bruxism is a common condition characterized by the clenching or grinding of teeth, often unconsciously, leading to potential dental problems and discomfort. Night guards create a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing direct contact and minimizing the impact of grinding forces.
These custom-fit devices are typically made from durable materials and can be obtained through a dentist. Night guards not only help protect the teeth from wear and damage but also assist in reducing jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension associated with bruxism. Regular use of a night guard can contribute to improved oral health and overall well-being by preserving tooth structure and preventing further complications arising from the habitual grinding of teeth during sleep.
Night Guard Treatment

Nightguards safeguard teeth from damage due to clenching or grinding, known as bruxism. These habits can wear down enamel, causing sensitivity and fractures. Nightguards act as a cushion, absorbing grinding forces and preventing these issues.
Bruxism can also cause pain and discomfort in the jaw joint, known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD). Nightguards can help alleviate this pain by providing a barrier between the teeth, reducing the impact of grinding and clenching on the jaw joint.
Bruxism is often associated with headaches, particularly upon waking up in the morning. By preventing excessive grinding and clenching during sleep, nightguards can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches related to bruxism.
