A custom night guard may help protect teeth from damage associated with grinding or clenching during sleep. An evaluation helps determine whether an appliance fits your needs and whether other causes of your symptoms need attention.
Looking for night guards near Wheeling? Dental Art Clinic welcomes patients from Wheeling at our Mount Prospect office, located at 1512 N. Elmhurst Road, Mount Prospect, IL 60056.
Worn edges, chipped restorations, tooth sensitivity, or morning jaw soreness can be reasons to discuss bruxism with your dentist. These symptoms can have other causes, so a guard should follow an assessment. Some people grind while asleep without realizing it; a sleep partner may notice the sound first.
The dentist checks your teeth, restorations, and bite before taking records for a custom appliance. Fit and bite contacts are checked when it is delivered. A guard separates the teeth to help limit wear and damage; it does not necessarily stop grinding. Report discomfort, looseness, or a change in how your teeth meet.
Follow the cleaning and storage instructions supplied with your guard, and bring it to dental visits for review. A sports mouthguard has a different purpose. A routine night guard is not a treatment for sleep apnea. Tell your dentist or physician about loud snoring, breathing pauses, or marked daytime sleepiness so those symptoms can be evaluated separately.
Wheeling patients can ask for a demonstration of inserting, removing, and cleaning their appliance. Confirm which cleaning products and storage method are recommended for its material. Bring it back for review rather than trying to reshape it yourself if the fit becomes uncomfortable.
