FAQs
How can a night guard help me stop grinding my teeth?
A night guard places a cushioning barrier between your teeth, alleviating the symptoms of bruxism.
How is a night guard made?
You’ll need to sit for dental impressions, which will be sent to a dental lab to create your custom mouth guard. Once it’s ready, you’ll need to return to the practice to collect your night guard, try it on and receive instructions on how to use it.
How long will my night guard last?
It should last at least a couple of years of constant use, depending on the amount of stress it’s put under. Bring your night guard with you to your regular dental check-ups so that your dentist can assess its condition.
Can I wear a sports guard instead of a night guard to alleviate bruxism?
No. Night guards and sports guards offer protection from different kinds of forces, and a sports guard is likely to feel extremely uncomfortable if worn at night.
