Night Guard

A night guard is a plastic device that covers all of the upper or lower teeth. A night guard is used to prevent wear on the teeth caused by tooth grinding during sleep, a medical condition known as Bruxism. Nightguards also help prevent TMJ and clenching disorders.

Fabricated Nightguards generally take two visits to the dentist. On the first visit an impression of your upper and lower teeth is made. These impressions are then sent to a dental laboratory to fabricate, in some cases we will be able to fabricate in our office. On the second visit the night guard is adjusted for optimal fit. These appliances are specific to your mouth only and will not fit others.
