What Is Night Guard?
Night Guard is a removable dental appliance designed to protect teeth from damage caused by grinding or clenching during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. Worn over the teeth, it creates a protective barrier that prevents enamel wear, reduces the risk of chips or cracks, and maintains proper alignment. Night Guard is often recommended to preserve dental health, reduce pressure on the jaw joint, and prevent long-term problems associated with excessive teeth grinding. By cushioning the teeth, it helps prevent loosening, sensitivity, and other structural issues that can arise from repeated nighttime stress.
Night Guard also provides relief from jaw and facial discomfort caused by clenching. The benefits of using Night Guard include to reduce headaches, ear pain, and tension in the jaw muscles. In addition, Night Guard can improve sleep quality by minimizing pain and discomfort that can interrupt rest. Night Guard also can serve as an essential tool in maintaining dental health and preventing complications associated with bruxism and TMJ disorders.
How It Works
Night Guard begins with a consultation by the dentist at our affiliated clinic, where a thorough dental examination is performed to assess the extent of teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or TMJ issues. During this consultation, the dentist evaluates bite alignment, checks for enamel wear, and discusses any jaw or facial discomfort.
For custom-made Night Guard, the dentist takes precise impressions of the teeth to create a guard that fits perfectly. The impressions are sent to a dental laboratory and the process can take about a week. Once ready, a follow-up appointment is scheduled for fitting, adjustments, and instructions on proper use and care. The fitting session generally lasts 15 to 30 minutes and ensures that the guard sits comfortably without causing irritation or excessive pressure.
There is no significant downtime after receiving Night Guard, although mild initial discomfort or slight drooling may occur during the first few nights as the mouth adjusts. With regular nightly use, Night Guard gradually prevents further dental damage, promotes better sleep quality, and supports long-term oral health.
