Night guards
A night guard is a custom-made appliance that helps protect your teeth from grinding or clenching while you sleep. Many people don’t realize they grind at night until they notice worn edges, sensitivity, or jaw soreness in the morning. A well-fitted night guard creates a gentle barrier between your teeth, easing pressure and helping your jaw stay relaxed.
These appliances are especially helpful if you have signs of enamel wear, waking headaches, clicking in your jaw, or stress-related clenching. With a personalized fit, a night guard feels comfortable, stays in place, and supports long-term oral health.
What a night guard supports
• Lower risk of chipping or fractures
• Less tension in the jaw and temples
• Protection for existing dental work
Why night guards matter
Grinding can slowly damage teeth, strain your bite, and contribute to gum inflammation. A night guard breaks this cycle by absorbing pressure and giving your jaw joints a chance to rest. It’s a practical, comfortable way to protect your smile and relieve day-to-day tension.
