Night and
Athletic Guards
Do you ever wake up with a sore jaw in the morning? Excessive jaw clenching and bruxism (teeth grinding) can accelerate tooth and jaw deterioration and pain. Meanwhile, grinding can impact the quality of your own sleep and that of those around you. To help our patients most comfortably avoid this, we customize night guards to their bite. Night guards act as a cushion between the top and bottom dental arches to prevent clenching and grinding.
It’s also critical to protect your smile while playing sports, particularly high impact ones like hockey, basketball, wrestling, and football. Athletic guards are custom-made, thermoplastic mouth guards that are molded to your teeth to prevent sports trauma.
