Main benefits of a Night Guard:
- Protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding.
- Reduce jaw pain and headaches.
- Custom-fitted for maximum comfort.
Using a night guard offers several benefits for dental health, particularly for those who grind their teeth or clench their jaw at night.
Here are seven key benefits:
- Prevents Tooth Damage:
Night guards provide a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and tear, chipping, or cracking of the teeth. - Reduces Jaw Pain and Tension:
By cushioning the jaw muscles and alleviating the pressure from clenching, night guards can help reduce jaw pain and tension, often associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. - Prevents Headaches:
Many people who grind their teeth at night wake up with headaches. A night guard can reduce the frequency and intensity of these headaches by minimizing grinding and clenching. - Protects Dental Work:
If you have crowns, bridges, or other dental work, a night guard can help protect these investments from damage due to grinding or clenching. - Improves Sleep Quality:
Reducing the discomfort and pain associated with bruxism can lead to better sleep quality, as you are less likely to wake up from the pain or discomfort. - Prevents Tooth Sensitivity:
Night guards can help prevent tooth sensitivity, which can be caused by grinding and clenching, by reducing the wear on tooth enamel. - Minimizes Gum Recession:
Excessive grinding can lead to gum recession over time. Using a night guard can help minimize this risk by reducing the grinding forces on the gums.
