Custom Nightguards for Teeth Grinding & Jaw Pain Relief

Waking with jaw pain, headaches, or damaged teeth? These may be warning signs of bruxism–an involuntary habit of grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep. If left untreated, it can cause tooth damage, TMJ issues, and long-term pain.

Fortunately, custom nightguards provide a simple yet effective solution. Made to fit your mouth, nightguards sit between the upper and lower teeth, protecting them from the forces of grinding and clenching. Custom nightguards last longer than over-the-counter options and feel more comfortable as well.

A nightguard can help save your smile by preventing tooth damage and reducing strain on your jaw muscles. With consistent use, many patients report better sleep, fewer headaches, and overall improvement in oral comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a custom nightguard, and how does it differ from store-bought options?

A custom nightguard is made specifically for you, ensuring a seamless fit. It provides better comfort and protection than one-size-fits-all or boil-and-bite versions.

Who should use a custom nightguard?

A custom nightguard benefits anyone who grinds or clenches their teeth at night. It’s also recommended for patients with TMJ discomfort or frequent morning headaches.

What is the process for getting a custom nightguard made?

We take an impression or digital scan of your teeth, which is then used to create a nightguard that fits snugly and comfortably for optimal protection.

What is the lifespan of a custom nightguard?

A well-made nightguard typically lasts several months to a couple of years. Kids and teens may need replacements more often as their teeth and jaws continue to grow.

How do I care for my custom nightguard?

Rinse with cold water after each use, clean weekly with a toothbrush and mild soap, and store in a breathable case. Avoid hot water, sunlight, or heat, which can warp the material.
