If you find yourself waking up with a sore jaw or frequent headaches, you might be unconsciously grinding your teeth at night. Night guards are custom-fitted dental devices designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding (bruxism) and clenching, which can lead to serious dental issues over time.

Night guards can also help reduce snoring and improve breathing during sleep.

Night guards prevent your upper and lower teeth from grinding, protecting your enamel. Enamel is the hardest substance in the human body, but it can wear down due to constant friction. Using a night guard significantly reduces the risk of cavities, tooth fractures, and other dental issues.
Bruxism often causes jaw tension and pain, which can result in headaches or earaches. Night guards evenly distribute grinding pressure, reducing muscle strain and leading to less pain and better sleep.
Grinding and clenching disrupts sleep, causing daytime fatigue and irritability. A night guard minimizes these actions, improving sleep quality and overall well-being.
The first step in obtaining a night guard is a thorough consultation and examination with Dr. Jeffrey Brenner at Dentistry of Bucks County. During this visit, Dr. Brenner will assess your dental health and discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing. This personalized consultation ensures that a night guard is the right solution for your needs and allows Dr. Brenner to take precise measurements for a custom fit.
Once the decision is made to proceed with a night guard, Dr. Brenner will take a detailed impression of your teeth. This impression is crucial for creating a night guard that fits perfectly and comfortably in your mouth. The process is quick and painless, ensuring that your night guard will not only protect your teeth but also feel natural and unobtrusive while you sleep.
After your custom night guard is crafted, you'll return to Dentistry of Bucks County for a fitting appointment. Dr. Brenner will ensure that the guard fits snugly and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments to optimize its effectiveness. This step is vital to ensure that your night guard provides maximum protection and comfort, allowing you to sleep peacefully without any discomfort or irritation.
You might need a night guard if you experience symptoms such as frequent headaches, jaw pain, worn or cracked teeth, or if your dentist observes signs of grinding during a routine checkup. Consult your dentist to determine if a night guard is suitable for you.
