Clenching and grinding can place additional stress on teeth and restorations. A custom nightguard may be part of a plan to protect your smile.
Recognizing the signs
During an examination, we look for wear and other signs of grinding or clenching. Let us know about jaw discomfort, changes in your bite, or symptoms you notice in the morning.
Made for your bite
Our practice offers custom oral appliances. We assess which design fits your needs, check how it sits on your teeth, and adjust the bite as needed.
Ongoing fit and care
Bring your appliance to your dental visits so we can check its fit and wear. We will explain cleaning and storage and discuss whether any adjustment or replacement is needed.
Your care is individual. An examination helps us explain the options, benefits, and considerations that apply to you.
