Nightguards are an effective solution for protecting your teeth and relieving discomfort caused by teeth grinding and clenching. At Monroe Dental and Implants, we provide custom-made nightguards designed to reduce tooth wear, ease jaw tension, and support long-term oral health while you sleep.
Understanding Teeth Grinding and Clenching
Teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism, often occurs during sleep and may go unnoticed. Over time, this habit can cause significant dental damage and discomfort.
Common signs include:
- Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Morning headaches
- Tooth sensitivity
- Facial muscle soreness
A custom nightguard creates a protective barrier between your teeth, helping prevent damage and reduce strain.
How Nightguards Help
Nightguards are designed to cushion your bite and distribute pressure evenly across the jaw. This reduces stress on the teeth and jaw joints while protecting enamel and restorations.
Nightguards help to:
- Prevent tooth wear and fractures
- Reduce jaw and muscle tension
- Minimize clenching-related headaches
- Protect crowns, fillings, and veneers
- Improve comfort during sleep
Consistent use can significantly reduce the long-term effects of bruxism.
Custom Nightguards vs. Store-Bought Options
Over-the-counter nightguards often lack proper fit and durability. Custom nightguards are designed specifically for your bite, offering superior comfort and protection.
Custom nightguards provide:
- A precise, secure fit
- Increased comfort and durability
- Better protection for teeth and jaw
- Reduced bulk and irritation
- Long-term effectiveness
A professionally made nightguard ensures reliable protection night after night.
Personalized Fit and Comfort
Custom nightguards are created using detailed impressions of your teeth to ensure accuracy and comfort. Our team ensures proper fit and makes adjustments as needed so your nightguard feels natural and easy to wear.
We also provide instructions on proper care and maintenance to extend the life of your nightguard.
Protect Your Smile While You Sleep
If you grind or clench your teeth, a nightguard can help prevent damage and relieve discomfort. Early treatment helps preserve your natural teeth and avoid more extensive dental procedures in the future.
