Protect Your Smile, Night After Night
Do you suspect that you are grinding your teeth at night? If you wake up with jaw pain or headaches more often than not, it could be the case. But you aren’t alone. Many of our patients experience bruxism, also known as teeth grinding, a condition that can lead to serious dental problems if left untreated.
Why is Teeth Grinding Bad?
- Your teeth can wear down, which can cause unwanted sensitivity.
- Constant clenching can strain your jaw muscles and lead to pain.
- It can disrupt your sleep and leave you feeling tired and irritable.
What Are Custom Nightguards?
A nightguard is a custom-made oral appliance designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of teeth grinding and clenching. We make these to fit comfortably over your teeth to act as a barrier between your upper and lower teeth.
The Benefits
- Shields your teeth from the damage.
- Reduces jaw pain and headaches.
- Minimizes disruptive nighttime behaviors.
- Prevents chipping and cracking of teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my custom nightguard last?
With the right use and care, your nightguard can last years! However, factors like wear and tear, bite changes, and the frequency of use can influence its lifespan. We recommend scheduling regular check-ups with our team to ensure your nightguard continues to give you the best protection.
Is it painful to wear a nightguard?
Most of our patients adjust to their nightguard quickly and find it to be comfortable. You may initially experience some discomfort, but these should subside within a few days. If you continue to experience pain or discomfort, get in touch with our team to make sure your fit is correct.
How often should I clean my nightguard?
To keep up with your oral hygiene and prolong the life of your nightguard, you’ll have to clean it daily. We recommend gently brushing your nightguard with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap and thoroughly rinsing it with warm water. You can also periodically soak your nightguard in a cleaning solution to eliminate bacteria and other harmful microorganisms.
