Teeth grinding, known as bruxism, can cause significant jaw discomfort and disrupt sleep. If you struggle with this issue, a night guard might be the solution you need. Custom night guards are created to match your specific dental structure, offering support for your jaw and stopping tooth damage while you sleep.
Our custom night guards at Dental Art Clinic are uniquely molded to address bruxism, an involuntary condition characterized by grinding or clenching teeth. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to chipped teeth, jaw pain, and misaligned bites. Night guards can effectively mitigate these risks. Contact us at (847)590-5200 to book your appointment today.
Many patients are curious about the difference between night guards and sports mouthguards. While both devices aim to protect your teeth, they serve different purposes. Sports mouthguards are essential for athletes in contact sports such as basketball or hockey. They shield teeth from impacts during physical activity.
On the other hand, night guards are designed to prevent damage from teeth grinding during sleep. Bruxism can severely damage teeth, wear down enamel, and cause gum issues. Continuous grinding can even necessitate dental surgery if not addressed. Night guards provide a simple yet effective way to safeguard your dental health.
For optimal protection, wearing your night guard every night is crucial. Inconsistent use can reduce its effectiveness and leave your teeth vulnerable to damage. Most patients find that wearing their night guard nightly becomes a seamless part of their bedtime routine.
You can still benefit from a night guard even if you have braces. Modern designs can accommodate braces and other dental appliances. Our custom-fitted night guards are crafted to work in harmony with your existing dental treatments, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.
