Night guards are specialized mouth guards designed to address bruxism, the condition of teeth grinding and clenching during sleep. If our team suspects you suffer from bruxism, a night guard may be recommended to protect your teeth from damage caused by grinding. Often, individuals with bruxism are unaware of their condition because it occurs while asleep. Common symptoms include:

• Chronic jaw, facial, and ear pain
• Waking with a tired or tight jaw
• Frequent tension headaches or migraines
• Tooth wear, chipping, cracking, or worn enamel
• Tongue indentations and increased tooth sensitivity



If you observe these signs, a custom night guard could benefit you greatly. Tailored to fit your smile comfortably, a night guard prevents teeth grinding while allowing for restful sleep.
