Night Guards
Excessive jaw clenching and bruxism can accelerate tooth and jaw deterioration and create sore muscles, headaches and tooth pain. To help our patients most comfortably avoid this, we customize night guards to their bite. One type of night guard acts as a cushion between the top and bottom dental arches while the other creates more space between the front teeth to prevent the top and lower jaw from touching. We will choose a night guard base on your needs.
