Why do you need a mouth guard at night?
If you suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism), you may need a nightguard to protect your teeth from the damage caused by this condition. Casey Dental can create a custom night guard for you to help you avoid the costly dental repairs that can result from bruxism.
Sleep apnea is another condition that can be helped with using a nightguard. You may have sleep apnea if you snore loudly or wake up gasping for air during the night. A nightguard can help to keep your airway open and prevent snoring.
If you suffer from any TMJ disorder, a nightguard can also help to relieve your symptoms. For example, TMJ disorders can cause pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, and a nightguard can help align the jaw and relieve pain.
If you think you may benefit from a nightguard, we can create a custom guard made from an impression of your teeth, so it fits snugly and comfortably in your mouth. They can be made for the upper and lower teeth and used on either side of the mouth.
What is bruxism?
Bruxism is a condition that causes you to grind or clench your teeth. This can happen during the day or night, but most people do it at night without realizing it. Bruxism can be caused by stress, misaligned teeth, or sleep disorders.
Symptoms of teeth grinding include:
- Jaw soreness
- Waking up with a headache
- Sensitive teeth
- Earache
- Worn tooth enamel
If you wake up with a headache or jaw pain, or if you notice that your teeth are becoming worn down, you may be grinding your teeth at night. A night guard can help relieve these symptoms and protect your teeth from further damage.
