Night Guard

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.
