Teeth grinding and clenching during sleep can gradually damage your teeth and cause discomfort in your jaw. At San Diego Smile Center, we provide custom night guards in Mira Mesa to help protect your teeth from the effects of nighttime grinding, also known as bruxism. A night guard acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing pressure and preventing enamel wear.
Many people grind their teeth without realizing it, especially during sleep. Over time, this habit can lead to tooth sensitivity, jaw soreness, headaches, and even cracked teeth. A professionally made night guard is designed to fit comfortably over your teeth and provide protection while you sleep.
Bruxism can place excessive pressure on your teeth and jaw joints. Without protection, grinding may wear down enamel, damage dental restorations, and contribute to jaw pain or temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues. Wearing a night guard helps absorb this pressure and reduce the strain placed on your teeth.Night guards are especially beneficial for patients who frequently wake up with jaw discomfort, headaches, or tooth sensitivity. By protecting your teeth during sleep, a night guard can help prevent long-term dental damage and improve your overall comfort.
