Night Guard

Patients suffering with chronic conditions such as night grinding (bruxism), clenching of teeth, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), can benefit from the use of an appliance called a night guard. Nightguards and bruxism appliances are made from a thermoplastic acrylic material using impressions of the teeth, which are custom fitted to your teeth and to your bite. The acrylic separates your teeth preventing wear and tear during grinding/clenching, and can help reposition your jaws and joints to a more neutral and less stressful position.
