Occlusal Guard
Occlusal Guard
Are you waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth sensitivity? You could be grinding or clenching your teeth—especially at night. We offer custom occlusal guards to help protect your smile from the damaging effects of bruxism. These personalized devices are an easy, non-invasive solution to preserve your teeth and improve your comfort.
What Is an Occlusal Guard?
An occlusal guard (also known as a night guard) is a removable appliance worn over your teeth, typically while you sleep. Its purpose is to prevent direct contact between your upper and lower teeth, reduce pressure on your jaw, and protect against wear, fractures, and enamel erosion.
Common signs you might benefit from a night guard include:
- Morning jaw soreness or headaches
- Clicking or popping in the jaw
- Flattened, chipped, or sensitive teeth
- Disrupted sleep due to clenching or grinding
How We Create Your Custom Guard
Unlike over-the-counter options, our guards are custom-made to fit your bite precisely. First, we’ll take detailed digital impressions of your teeth. Afterward, your guard will be fabricated using high-quality, durable materials.
Once ready, we’ll ensure a snug, comfortable fit. With proper care, your occlusal guard can last for years and significantly reduce the impact of nighttime grinding.
