Request AppointmentNightguards forTeeth Grinding and Clenching
Teeth grinding and jaw clenching, also known as bruxism, are common conditions that often occur during sleep. Many patients are unaware they grind their teeth until they begin experiencing symptoms such as jaw discomfort, headaches, or worn teeth.
Over time, untreated bruxism can place significant pressure on the teeth, muscles, and jaw joints, increasing the risk of:
- Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Tooth sensitivity
- Jaw pain or TMJ discomfort
- Headaches and facial tension
- Earaches
- Interrupted sleep
- Gum irritation and inflammation
A custom nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping reduce pressure on the jaw and minimizing damage caused by grinding and clenching.
Our custom nightguards are carefully designed to fit comfortably and securely, allowing for easier nighttime wear while helping protect your long-term oral health.
What CausesTeeth Grinding?
Bruxism can develop for several reasons, and some patients may have multiple contributing factors. Common risk factors include:
- Stress and anxiety
- Sleep disturbances or sleep apnea
- Caffeine or alcohol consumption
- Smoking or tobacco use
- Certain medications
- Bite alignment issues
- Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease
During your appointment, our team will evaluate your symptoms, oral health, and bite to determine whether a custom nightguard may help reduce strain and protect your teeth.
Sports Guardsfor Athletic Protection
Sports-related dental injuries can occur during both competitive and recreational activities. A custom sports guard helps protect the teeth, gums, lips, and jaw from trauma caused by impact or contact during sports. Custom sports guards are recommended for activities such as:
- Hockey
- Basketball
- Soccer
- Martial arts
- Football
- Baseball
- Skateboarding and recreational sports
Compared to store-bought mouthguards, custom sports guards offer a significantly better fit and improved comfort, making it easier to speak, breathe, and wear consistently during activity. Benefits of custom sports guards include:
- Reduced risk of chipped or broken teeth
- Protection against soft tissue injuries
- Improved stability and retention
- Greater comfort during activity
- Customized fit based on your bite and dental anatomy
- Reduced the likelihood of jaw injuries during impact
A properly fitted sports guard plays an important role in protecting both your smile and your long-term oral health.
The Benefits of CustomOral Appliances

- Prevent tooth wear and enamel damage
- Reduce pressure on the jaw joints and muscles
- Minimize headaches and jaw discomfort
- Protect against sports-related dental injuries
- Improve comfort during sleep or athletic activity
- Support long-term oral health and function
