Custom Night Guards are individually crafted oral appliances worn during sleep to create a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing the damage caused by chronic grinding and clenching.
Impressions or digital scans of your teeth are used to fabricate a guard precisely fitted to your bite, creating a durable cushioning layer that absorbs grinding and clenching forces to protect enamel, restorations, and jaw joints during sleep.
Protects enamel and restorations from the damaging forces of grinding and clenching, reduces jaw soreness and headaches, and helps preserve the long-term health of your teeth and jaw joints.
Custom Night Guards
Durable, custom-fitted appliances that protect teeth from the damaging effects of nighttime grinding and clenching.
Patients who grind or clench their teeth during sleep, wake up with jaw soreness or headaches, or have been told by their dentist that their enamel shows signs of wear from nighttime bruxism.
Designed to protect teeth from the damage caused by clenching and grinding during sleep, it's made from a precise impression for a comfortable, secure fit. After a quick appointment, patients often notice reduced wear and less morning jaw discomfort.
At Troy Meadows Dental, custom night guard fabrication involves two brief appointments — one for impressions or scans and one to fit and adjust the finished guard — typically completed within one to two weeks.
Custom Night Guards at Troy Meadows Dental should be worn consistently every night to provide effective protection, as even occasional gaps in use can allow grinding damage to resume. Patients should clean the guard daily, bring it to dental checkups for evaluation, and notify their provider if it begins to feel uncomfortable or shows signs of significant wear.
There is no recovery period following custom night guard delivery at Troy Meadows Dental, and patients can begin wearing it that same evening. A brief adjustment period is normal as the mouth adapts to sleeping with the appliance, and most patients find that jaw soreness and morning discomfort improve noticeably within the first few weeks of consistent use.
