Nightguard

Nightguard Services

Teeth night guards serve as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from grinding or clenching against each other. This helps reduce the risk of dental problems such as tooth wear, fractures, and jaw pain associated with bruxism. If you suspect that you grind or clench your teeth at night, it's important to consult with a dentist who can evaluate your condition and recommend the appropriate treatment, which may include the use of a custom night guard.

Step 1

Diagnosis and Assessment: When you visit a dentist with concerns about teeth grinding or clenching, they will examine your teeth and jaw to determine if a night guard is necessary. They may ask about your symptoms, such as jaw pain, headaches, or worn tooth surfaces, and may also take X-rays or impressions of your teeth.

Step 2

Custom Night Guard Creation: If the dentist determines that a night guard is suitable for you, they will take impressions of your teeth to create a custom-fit appliance. These impressions are sent to a dental laboratory, where the night guard is fabricated based on the specific dimensions and alignment of your teeth. Custom night guards are typically made from a durable, BPA-free material.

Step 3

Fitting and Adjustment: Once the night guard is ready, you will return to the dentist for a fitting. The dentist will ensure that the night guard fits comfortably and securely over your teeth, allowing for proper alignment of your jaw and minimal interference with your bite. They may make adjustments if necessary to optimize the fit.

Step 4

Instructions and Maintenance: The dentist will provide you with instructions on how to use and care for your night guard. Typically, you will be advised to wear the night guard every night while sleeping to protect your teeth. It's essential to keep the night guard clean by regularly rinsing it with water and brushing it with a toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid exposing the night guard to excessive heat or storing it in direct sunlight.
