Night guards are custom-made oral appliances worn while you sleep to prevent teeth from grinding against each other. They act as a protective barrier that reduces pressure on your teeth and jaw.
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a guard that fits comfortably and stays in place overnight. This ensures better protection compared to over-the-counter options.
Wearing a night guard can help reduce wear, prevent chips, and ease jaw tension caused by grinding. Over time, it can also help limit the effects of bruxism and protect your long-term oral health.
