What You Can Expect From Night Guards

Night guards differ from sports mouthguards in the sense that sports mouthguards protect teeth from blunt force trauma. On the other hand, night guards are intended to reduce the impact of – and damage that may be caused by – teeth grinding. Here’s what you can expect from wearing these dental appliances:

Protect the teeth from damage

Clenching the teeth during sleep can result in tooth damage, such as chips. Wearing night guards can help protect the surfaces of the teeth from the excessive pressure of unconsciously grinding at night.

Enjoy a better quality of sleep.

Night guards may help alleviate the discomfort in the teeth and jaw area by reducing the impact of teeth grinding and allowing the jaw muscles to relax.

Less likely to change the bite

Custom-made night guards are designed to fit uniquely to the patient's teeth and will not affect the bite. Instead, they can help improve oral health.

Provide long-term benefits to the oral health

While the upfront cost of getting a night guard may seem high, it is lower than the potential cost of various dental treatments necessary to restore the teeth in case of further damage.

What You Need to Know About Night Guards

Night guards effectively protect teeth from damage caused by grinding and clenching while you sleep. These custom-fitted devices help reduce the impact of bruxism on your teeth, alleviating pain and preventing further dental issues. If you suffer from bruxism, mouthguards can provide protection to maintain oral health.

Sports Mouthguards vs. Night Guards

While sports mouthguards protect against blunt force trauma during physical activities, night guards are specifically designed to reduce damage from teeth grinding. Each type of guard is tailored for a particular use and provides protection and comfort.

Made from Durable Plastic

Night guards are made from high-quality, durable plastic materials that withstand the pressure of grinding. This durability provides long-lasting protection for your teeth, making them a reliable choice for nightly use.

Replace Regularly

Night guards should be replaced every 1-2 years for continuous protection of your teeth and jaw. Regular visits to your dentist can help determine when it's time for a new guard.

Regular Maintenance

Regular cleaning and proper storage of your night guard are crucial. This practice keeps the guard hygienic and prolongs its lifespan. Your dentist can provide guidance on proper cleaning methods and storage practices.
