Many patients are unaware that nighttime habits like teeth grinding or jaw clenching can lead to serious dental problems. Wolfe Family Dentistry provides custom night guards to protect your teeth, reduce discomfort and promote healthier sleep. These comfortable, easy-to-wear devices are designed to prevent damage and relieve tension caused by bruxism.

Understanding the Impact of Teeth Grinding

Bruxism is the medical term for unconscious grinding or clenching of the teeth, often occurring during sleep. Over time, this condition can cause tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches and even cracked or broken teeth. It may also contribute to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and interfere with your overall sleep quality.

A night guard is a simple and effective solution. Worn over the teeth, it acts as a protective barrier that cushions the impact of grinding and reduces the strain on your jaw muscles. Unlike store-bought options, custom night guards are made to fit your mouth precisely, providing maximum comfort and durability.

Common signs that you may benefit from a night guard include:

  • Waking up with jaw pain or headaches
  • Tooth sensitivity or worn-down enamel
  • Clicking or popping in the jaw
  • Facial soreness or tightness
  • Cracked or chipped teeth with no obvious cause

Custom Comfort for Long-Term Relief

Dr. Emily Wolfe will perform a thorough examination to determine if a night guard is right for you. If recommended, our dentist will take impressions of your teeth to create a personalized guard that fits securely and comfortably.

At our office, we are committed to helping you sleep better and protect your long-term oral health. Our night guards are made from high-quality materials that are durable, easy to clean and designed for nightly use.

A custom night guard can provide immediate relief from symptoms while preventing future damage to your teeth and jaw. It is a simple step that makes a lasting difference in your comfort and dental health.
