NIGHT GUARDS

A night guard is a custom-designed oral appliance, designed to be worn while you sleep. If you experience bruxism (chronic teeth-grinding), for example, then a night guard can help protect your teeth.

What Does a Night Guard Do?

A night guard is used to help protect the teeth from the grinding of bruxism, so patients don’t unconsciously destroy healthy, natural tooth structures. Bruxism is an issue for millions of patients. They are often not aware of it because it happens when they sleep. However, if left untreated, it can lead to tooth damage, malocclusion, an increased risk of gum disease, or more.
