Why Choose Custom Night Guards?

We start with a thorough examination and consultation to understand your specific needs before creating a solution designed to fit your mouth and ease your concerns. A custom night guard for teeth clenching or grinding can benefit you in several ways:

• Reduce jaw discomfort
• Enhance sleep quality by improving sleep apnea symptoms
• Prevent teeth grinding
• Fit your teeth securely to avoid falling out overnight
• Withstand frequent use
• Deliver superior comfort

Some individuals must use their custom night guard during the day if they experience bruxism or jaw clenching. Bruxism describes clenching, grinding or gnashing your teeth — mostly happening at night and subconsciously. Awake bruxism can sometimes be a habit while you're concentrating, or it's used as a coping strategy for stress.

Custom vs. OTC Night Guard

Over-the-counter (OTC) night guards are thicker than custom ones, but both protect your teeth while you sleep. OTC night guards are one size fits all or come in standard sizes, such as small or large, so they're not made to fit your teeth perfectly.

With custom night guards, your dentist can shave down areas that feel too bulky or make other changes to ensure you're comfortable while you sleep.

What Type of Mouth Guard Is Best for Clenching?

An upper mouth guard is best for people who clench their teeth during sleep because it cushions the impact between your upper and lower teeth.
