Night Guards

Chronic jaw clenching can be caused by many things such as stress, anxiety, sleep disorders and even abnormal bites due to missing or poorly aligned teeth. This occurs mainly at night and often causes people to wake up with symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and sore muscles and teeth that may feel loose. Night Guards are custom made for each patient and fit over the teeth to keep the jaws slightly apart, thereby relieving the symptoms of teeth grinding. A properly designed and fitted Night Guard may even help patients get a better night’s sleep.
