Night Guards
Individuals who suffer from bruxism, or teeth grinding, find that a
night guard can help achieve a better quality of sleep, as well as
prevent sore and tense muscles around the jaw from constant biting
during the night. A night guard can also protect the teeth from wearing
down due to grinding and pressure, which could otherwise cause thinning
of the enamel and even make the teeth more prone to decay over time.
For TMJ patients, dentists utilize night guards as a means for helping
correct the condition and also for alleviating TMJ pain and symptoms.
With regular use of a night guard, TMJ sufferers can experience fewer
TMJ-related headaches, less clenching, less popping and clicking of the
jaw, fewer toothaches and less ringing in the ears.
