Teeth grinding and jaw clenching, also known as bruxism, can cause serious dental issues over time. At Norman Family Dental Group, Dr. Aaron Norman provides custom night guards to help protect teeth from excessive wear and reduce strain on the jaw. These oral appliances offer a comfortable and effective solution for patients experiencing nighttime grinding, helping to prevent long-term dental complications.

Protecting Your Smile While You Sleep

Many people grind their teeth at night without realizing it. Over time, this habit can lead to worn enamel, increased tooth sensitivity and even fractures. Bruxism can also contribute to jaw pain, headaches and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. A custom night guard creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing the impact of grinding and clenching while promoting a more relaxed jaw position.

Unlike over-the-counter options, custom-made night guards are designed to fit the unique shape of your teeth for optimal comfort and effectiveness. Our dentist and team carefully craft each night guard to ensure a secure fit, allowing for ease of wear throughout the night. By addressing bruxism early, patients can avoid costly dental repairs and improve their overall oral health.

Benefits of Custom Night Guards

Wearing a night guard can provide several advantages for long-term dental and oral health, including:

• Prevents Tooth Wear – Protects enamel from excessive grinding and damage.
• Reduces Jaw Strain – Helps relieve tension in the jaw muscles and joints.
• Minimizes TMJ Symptoms – Can ease discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint disorders.
• Decreases Headaches – May reduce headaches caused by nighttime clenching.
• Improves Sleep Quality – Encourages a more relaxed jaw position for better rest.
• Customized for Comfort – Tailored to fit your mouth for a secure and comfortable experience.
