Custom Nightguard
Do You Grind Your Teeth at Night?
Do you often wake up with pain in your facial region (sore jaw, headache) and teeth? Then you may be suffering from a condition called Bruxism (teeth grinding). Teeth grinding leads to damage such as cracks, factures and even tooth erosion. Custom nightguard is a very effective solution for teeth grinding.
Custom Mouthguards are the Best Solution for Nightly Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding is a very common condition that affects approximately 40 million children and adults in the U.S. Teeth grinding can cause serious damage such as cracks, factures and even tooth erosion. The earlier we catch the damage, the better because the damage that teeth grinding can cause will require expensive repair work down the road!
Custom fit night guard are made using higher quality material in a special laboratory from an impression of your mouth carefully taken by a dental professional. These will provide superior fit and will be more comfortable to wear. You may be tempted to purchase an over-the-counter version due to cost reasons. This type of night guard is not custom-fit to your mouth; therefore, it could be uncomfortable and can make it impossible to get a good night’s sleep!
