A custom dental night guard is a valuable tool for individuals grappling with teeth grinding or clenching, otherwise known as “bruxism”. Crafted specifically for your mouth, this personalized oral appliance offers a snug and comfortable fit, ensuring you can wear it throughout the night without disruption. By acting as a protective barrier, it prevents the abrasive effects of teeth grinding and clenching, which can lead to dental damage, worn enamel, misalignment and jaw pain. Furthermore, it aids in reducing the intensity of headaches, muscle tension, and other discomfort associated with bruxism. Ultimately, a custom dental night guard not only safeguards your dental health but also promotes restful sleep, enabling you to wake up feeling refreshed and free from the negative impacts of teeth grinding.
As an added to our patients Care dental provides at no-cost to our patients a 3D digital scan that includes a digital bite-map. A digital bite map is an invaluable diagnostic aid for bruxism because it provides a clear and precise visual representation of a patient’s bite and the interplay of their teeth. This technology enables dentists to assess the alignment and positioning of teeth with great accuracy. For bruxism sufferers, it helps identify signs of teeth grinding and clenching, as well as any related issues such as misalignments or premature wear. With this detailed insight, dentists can tailor treatment plans, create custom night guards, and monitor progress effectively, ensuring the most appropriate and targeted care for patients experiencing bruxism.
