Night Guards
Night Guards
Night Guards are dental appliances that protect your teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep, also known as bruxism. They provide a cushioning barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and tear on the enamel and reducing muscle strain. Night Guards are suitable for individuals experiencing symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, or noticeable tooth wear, all of which may indicate bruxism. Dentists typically recommend this treatment after a thorough examination and diagnosis.
