A mouth guard or night guard acts as a protective cushion that absorbs the excessive forces placed on teeth during grinding and clenching.
Grinding and clenching can place up to ten times more pressure on your teeth than normal chewing, which may lead to:
1. Tooth fractures
2. Tooth wear and sensitivity
3. Jaw discomfort and facial pain
4. Headaches, neck pain, and shoulder aches
Stress is considered one of the major causes of clenching and grinding. Wearing a custom night guard helps keep the teeth apart, reduces pressure on the jaw muscles, and helps interrupt the clenching cycle during sleep.
Our custom-made mouth guards are designed for comfort, protection, and long-term oral health.
