At Instyle Dental Group, we specialize in crafting custom night guards to protect your teeth and improve your oral health. While both sports guards and night guards are designed to protect your teeth, they serve distinctly different purposes. Here, we focus on night guards, offering expert solutions for those suffering from bruxism (teeth grinding) and clenching.
What Are Night Guards?
Night guards are dental appliances specifically designed to be worn during sleep to protect your teeth from the damage caused by grinding and clenching. Made from durable, high-quality materials, they act as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing enamel wear, reducing jaw discomfort, and minimizing the risk of cracked teeth.
How Are Sports Guards Different from Night Guards?
While sports guards are designed to protect teeth from physical impacts during activities like football or boxing, night guards are tailored for nighttime use. Sports guards are bulkier and designed to absorb shocks, while night guards are thinner and more comfortable, focusing on preventing grinding and clenching.
Why Do You Need a Night Guard?
Bruxism and clenching can lead to:
- Tooth Damage: Chips, cracks, or wear of enamel.
- Jaw Pain: Discomfort and tension in the jaw and facial muscles.
- Headaches: Persistent tension headaches due to clenching.
- Poor Sleep Quality: Disrupted rest from grinding noises or jaw pain.
