What happens while you sleep

This is grinding, also called bruxism, in motion. Watch the jaw work, then switch the guard on and feel the difference.

Try the toggle
Force reaching your enamelHigh

Tooth grinds directly against tooth, hour after hour. Over time this can flatten edges, chip enamel, and strain the jaw, often without you knowing it is happening.

The guard becomes the surface that absorbs the motion. Your teeth never touch, your dental work is shielded, and your jaw muscles get a gentler night.

Mouthguard FAQ

It is a slim, custom-made appliance, usually worn at night, that sits over your teeth and absorbs the force of grinding and clenching. Instead of tooth wearing against tooth, the guard takes the pressure.

A guard does not cure grinding itself, but it protects your teeth from its damage and can ease strain on your jaw muscles. Your dentist can also talk with you about factors that contribute to grinding.

Custom guards are far slimmer than store versions because they are molded to your exact teeth. Most patients adjust within a few nights and stop noticing it entirely.

It depends on how heavily you grind, but professional materials are made for nightly use over the long term. We check your guard at regular visits and let you know when it is time for a replacement.

If you grind or clench, a nightguard is one of the best ways to protect cosmetic and restorative work. It is a small investment guarding a much larger one.

Some dental plans include coverage for occlusal guards, and benefits vary. Call us at (954) 454-0959 and our team will help you review your options before treatment begins.
