Bruxism is the term for any regular grinding of teeth or clenching of the jaw. Many teeth grinders only do so at night and may not even realize it. If you wake up with a sore jaw or a dull headache, these could be signs you are grinding your teeth at night and you should consult a dentist. Greenville Family Dentistry provides custom night guards to protect patient teeth from the negative effects of teeth grinding.
To outfit you with a new custom night guard, we begin with taking an impression of your mouth. This impression is sent to a dental lab where your custom product will be fabricated and fit. Ask us about temporary options to wear while your night guard is being made. On your next visit you can bring your custom night guard home, and with correct care, it will last for 10 years. The night guard will also help align the jaw and improve sleep!
