Night Guards
Clenching your teeth while you sleep and during the day is the result of some of the strongest muscles in your body tensing-up (up to 6 to 20 time more intensely then non-sufferers), which can cause morning and tension headaches and even damage surrounding joints, teeth and other muscles. Â Custom made night guards can relieve stress on your teeth and joints.
Signs indicating you may be in need of a night guard:
- You wake up with headaches or pain in your jaw
- You experience difficulty opening and/or closing your mouth
- You grind your teeth
- Your jaw makes a clicking or popping noise
How a night guard works:
Night guards create a barrier between your top and bottom teeth so you cannot grind them together. Â This also encourages the jaw muscles to relax, reducing the tension that causes headaches and pain. Â Additionally, a guard is custom designed to fit your teeth to ensure it stays in place while you sleep.
