If you grind or clench your teeth or experience jaw pain, clicking, or tension, a custom night guard can protect your teeth, ease joint strain, and prevent further damage.
Yes, advanced Night Guards (splints) can reduce pressure on the jaw joint and its disc (TMJ), relax the muscles, and ease symptoms like headaches, facial pain, and jaw clicking.
No, a Night Guard doesn’t cure bruxism, but it prevents damage, protects teeth, and reduces painful symptoms.
A basic guard acts as a barrier to protect teeth from grinding. Advanced splints (like Michigan or Tanner splints) also guide the bite, support the jaw joint, and help relieve TMJ-related problems.
It all depends on how strong your grinding and clenching are. In most cases, a custom Night Guard can last around 2 years or more with proper care. Heavy grinders may wear them down sooner, while lighter users often keep them much longer.
Yes — in fact, a Night Guard is highly recommended after many restorative treatments. Grinding or clenching puts extra stress on dental work like implants, veneers, crowns, and bridges, which can shorten their lifespan. A custom Night Guard helps distribute biting forces evenly, protects your restorations from damage, and reduces pressure on your teeth and jaw.
Most patients adapt quickly. In fact, most people report better sleep once grinding pain, jaw tension, and headaches improve.
