At Perfect Smile Implant and Orthodontic Clinic, we are dedicated to preserving your oral health and protecting your teeth from unnecessary damage. One common yet often overlooked dental issue is teeth grinding or clenching, also known as bruxism. A custom night guard is a simple yet effective solution to protect your teeth and jaw from the harmful effects of bruxism.
A night guard is a dental appliance designed to fit over your teeth and act as a protective barrier. Worn during sleep, it prevents the upper and lower teeth from grinding against each other, reducing the risk of damage and alleviating stress on the jaw.
Unlike generic over-the-counter options, our night guards are custom-made to fit your unique dental structure, ensuring comfort, durability, and optimal protection.
Night guards are recommended for individuals who experience:
1. Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Chronic grinding can lead to tooth fractures, enamel erosion, and sensitivity.
2. Jaw Pain or TMJ Disorders: Excessive clenching can strain the jaw muscles and joints.

Store it in a ventilated case to prevent bacterial growth.
Avoid exposing it to high temperatures, which can warp the material.
