A night guard may be recommended for individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. This unconscious habit can lead to worn, chipped, or cracked teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and even damage to dental restorations. A custom-fitted night guard provides a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, helping to reduce pressure and prevent further damage. It also promotes better jaw alignment and can relieve discomfort associated with muscle tension or TMJ disorders. Wearing a night guard is a simple yet effective way to preserve long-term oral health and improve sleep quality. In addition to protecting teeth from grinding and clenching, a night guard can help prevent long-term complications that may arise from untreated bruxism. Over time, excessive pressure on the teeth and jaw can lead to gum recession, tooth sensitivity, and changes in bite alignment. For patients with dental restorations such as crowns, veneers, or implants, a night guard offers an extra layer of protection to extend the life of their dental work. Custom-made night guards are designed for comfort and durability, ensuring a secure fit that won’t interfere with sleep. By incorporating a night guard into their nightly routine, patients can take a proactive step toward preserving their smile and overall oral health.
