• Night Guards
are dental appliances that protect your teeth from wear or cracks due to excessive forces.

The two types of Night Guards:

Plastic Night Guard

There are patients who do not suffer from the unfortunate habit on a nightly basis, and only have mild grinding and bruxism. For these patients, a soft protection is enough to solve the problem and preserve teeth structure. A Plastic Night Guard is also well suited for people who suffer from teeth clenching rather than teeth grinding.

Acrylic Night Guard

A rigid acrylic night guard is another option for nighttime dental care. It is more durable and suitable for people who suffer from severe tooth grinding. Acrylic night guards offer greater comfort and longer-lasting usage than their softer counterparts.

Why might I need a mouthguard?

A Mouthguard is perfect for people who:
  • Suffer from bruxism, which is a sleeping disorder where one grinds or clenches their teeth during sleep. This can cause tooth and jaw pain, and sore gums.
  • Suffer from mild Sleep Apnea, which is a sleeping disorder that causes one to temporarily stop breathing while sleeping. A mouthguard for sleep apnea would push your lower jaw and tongue forward to keep your airway open.
  • Suffer from tooth fractures or cracks due to excessive biting forces
  • Play a certain sport that has a high risk of falling or injuries to your face

What are the procedures involved?

In order to make a nightguard, a dental impression of your teeth will be taken and sent to a lab. Afterward, a custom-made mouthguard can be fabricated to fit your teeth and help protect your teeth from wear or trauma.
