Can a night guard help with jaw pain caused by teeth grinding?
A custom night guard may help some people manage jaw discomfort associated with nighttime teeth grinding or clenching. By creating a protective barrier between your teeth, it can help reduce grinding-related wear, although it may not relieve every type of jaw pain.
At Tend Dental in Westport, CT, our dentists can assess your symptoms and help determine whether a night guard or another treatment approach is appropriate.
-
Can I wear a night guard if I have dental implants or bridges?
In many cases, a custom night guard can be designed for patients with dental implants, bridges, or other restorations. A properly fitted appliance may help protect these restorations from some of the forces associated with nighttime grinding and clenching.
Your Tend dentist in Westport will evaluate your existing dental work and bite before recommending a night guard that fits your individual needs.
-
Does Tend Dental in Westport offer night guards for teeth clenching?
Yes, Tend Dental's Westport Studio offers custom night guards that may help protect your teeth from damage associated with nighttime clenching. Even if you don't grind your teeth back and forth, sustained clenching can place considerable pressure on your teeth and jaw.
Our dentists can assess your bite, discuss any symptoms you're experiencing, and recommend a personalized approach to protecting your smile.
-
How often should I replace my custom night guard?
The lifespan of a custom night guard depends on factors such as the material, how heavily you grind your teeth, and how well you care for it. Some night guards last several years, while others may need to be replaced sooner due to wear or changes in fit.
At Tend Dental in Connecticut, our team can check your night guard during routine visits and help you determine when a replacement may be necessary.
-
What's the difference between a custom night guard and a store-bought one?
Custom night guards are made specifically for your teeth and bite, while store-bought options typically use a standard or boil-and-bite design. A professionally fitted night guard may offer a more secure, comfortable fit, especially if you grind or clench your teeth regularly.
At Tend's Westport Studio, our dentists can help you understand the differences and decide whether a custom night guard is the right choice for your smile.
