Night guards are essential oral appliances designed to protect your teeth from the effects of bruxism. Bruxism is the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth, which often occurs during sleep. This condition can lead to various dental issues, including enamel erosion, tooth fractures and jaw pain. Our dentists can create custom-fit night guards to help safeguard your oral health.
The process of obtaining a night guard begins with a thorough examination by our dentists. During your visit, our dentists will assess your dental structure and take precise impressions of your teeth. These impressions are used to fabricate a personalized night guard that fits comfortably and securely. The custom-fit nature of the night guard ensures that it remains in place throughout the night, providing optimal protection against grinding and clenching.
Using a night guard can significantly reduce the risk of dental damage while alleviating symptoms associated with bruxism. Whether you are experiencing headaches, jaw discomfort or disrupted sleep, a night guard may help improve your quality of life. At Jackson Smiles, we prioritize your comfort and well-being, ensuring that every step of the process is tailored to your needs.
If you suspect that bruxism affects your dental health, consider scheduling a consultation. Our dentists and team are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and are ready to assist you in protecting your teeth with a custom night guard.
