NIGHTGUARD
APPLIANCES

Bruxism is defined as the excessive grinding of the teeth or clenching of the jaw. Approximately 50% of adults experience bruxism, and 15% of children acquire this behavior. Most often, this habit goes unnoticed by the person. 
​

For many patients, simply wearing a nightguard is enough to eliminate the problem. Worn while your sleep, a nightguard will protect your teeth and prevent them from grinding together. These appliances are custom-made for each patient.
Signs of Bruxism:
  • Tooth wear
  • Fractures of the teeth and fillings
  • Grinding noise noticed by a sleeping partner
  • Facial muscle pain and fatigue
  • Locking, cracking, and clicking of the jaws
  • Headaches
  • Tooth mobility
  • Sensitive teeth
