Night Guards
Night Guards for Improved Oral Health
Most patients do not realize they suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), which often leads to damaged or sensitive teeth. Dr. Cary can help diagnose this condition and recommend treatment to help mitigate it, such as a night guard, an oral appliance worn while you sleep. Stress can take a toll on your smile. So if you find yourself clenching your teeth during the day or if you grind them at night, your smile could suffer as a result.
Signs and Symptoms of Bruxism
- Severe soreness in the jaw, face, or ear
- The muscles in your jaw feel tired upon waking
- Tension headaches or migraines
- Chipped, flat, or cracked teeth
- Excessively worn tooth enamel
- Tongue indentations from your teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
What’s a Night Guard?
Night guards are custom oral appliances that match your bite and fit comfortably over your teeth while you sleep. They protect your teeth from grinding against each other and help relieve the symptoms experienced by those with bruxism.
