Dental Lab Night Guards | Protect Against Bruxism and Jaw Pain

When Dental Night Guard is Needed

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Individuals who grind their teeth during sleep need a night guard to protect their teeth from excessive wear and damage.
Teeth Clenching: Those who clench their jaws tightly during sleep can benefit from a night guard to alleviate pressure on the teeth and jaw muscles.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD/TMJ): A night guard can help manage symptoms of TMD/TMJ by reducing strain on the jaw joint and muscles.

Dental Restoration Protection: Patients with dental restorations like crowns, bridges, or veneers may use a night guard to protect these investments from damage caused by grinding or clenching.
Jaw Pain or Headaches: Night guards can help alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and other discomforts related to bruxism or clenching.
