Night guards are custom-made oral appliances designed to fit over your teeth and protect them from the effects of bruxism—teeth grinding and clenching that often occurs during sleep. Without treatment, bruxism can lead to:
- Worn-down or cracked teeth
- Jaw pain and soreness
- Headaches or migraines
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders
The Night Guard Process
- Consultation: Dr. Sean McAnarney will examine your teeth and discuss symptoms to determine if a night guard is the right solution for you.
- Impressions: A 3D scan of your teeth and bite are taken to create a custom-fit night guard.
- Fitting: Once your night guard is ready, we ensure it fits comfortably and securely for optimal protection.
Benefits of Custom Night Guards
- Protects teeth from damage caused by grinding, clenching, or crooked teeth (a bad bite!)
- Reduces jaw pain, headaches and TMJ symptoms
- Improves sleep quality and comfort
- Custom fit for maximum effectiveness and durability
Custom night guards are more effective and comfortable than over-the-counter options, offering superior protection tailored to your needs.
