Improve Your Sleep With a Custom Night Guard
Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth sensitivity? These are common signs of teeth grinding or clenching at night, a condition known as bruxism. Fortunately, a custom night guard can help protect your teeth, reduce discomfort, and promote better sleep.
At League City Elite Dentistry, we offer high-quality, custom-made night guards designed to fit your mouth perfectly. These personalized guards are comfortable, durable, and highly effective in protecting your smile while you sleep.
Signs You Might Need a Night Guard
A night guard is a soft or hard plastic appliance that fits snugly over your upper teeth. It acts as a barrier, preventing your upper and lower teeth from grinding against each other while you sleep. Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom night guards are designed specifically for your mouth to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
If you notice any of the following symptoms, it may be time to consider a night guard:
- Jaw pain or tightness in the morning
- Frequent headaches
- Worn, cracked, or chipped teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Clicking or popping in your jaw
- Disrupted sleep or waking up tired
Even if you're not aware of grinding, our team at League City Elite Dentistry can detect the signs during your routine checkup.
How Night Guards Protect Teeth
If you suffer from jaw pain, teeth grinding (bruxism), or clenching, a custom night guard can provide effective relief. Here's how it works:
- Relieves Jaw Pain: A night guard absorbs the pressure from grinding, reducing muscle tension in your jaw and helping to alleviate pain and discomfort.
- Prevents Tooth Damage: By acting as a protective barrier, a night guard helps preserve your tooth enamel and prevents wear, cracks, or chips caused by grinding.
- Protects Fillings and Crowns: If you have dental work like crowns or fillings, a night guard shields them from damage, preserving their integrity for longer.
With regular use, a custom night guard helps protect your smile, reduce jaw pain, and prevent the long-term effects of bruxism.
