What Are Mouth Guards?
Custom-fit nightguards are personalized dental appliances that can effectively alleviate jaw pain and protect teeth from nighttime grinding. These night guards are usually crafted from a resilient and adaptable material, such as durable acrylic plastic or robust soft silicone, to cater to your specific dental requirements.
Who Can Benefit From Custom Guards?
1.
Patients who clench or grind their teeth at night
Custom night guards provide a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and tear on tooth enamel and alleviating symptoms associated with bruxism, such as jaw pain and headaches.
2.
Patients suffering from TMJ issues
Night guards can help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint (tmj) disorders by providing cushioning and support to the jaw joint, reducing pressure and inflammation, and promoting relaxation of the surrounding muscles.
3.
Patients who regularly play contact sports
Mouth guards are essential for athletes participating in contact sports to protect their teeth, gums, and jaw from impacts or collisions. Custom-fitted sports mouth guards offer superior comfort and protection compared to over-the-counter alternatives.
