About Night Guards
Night guards are essential for individuals who suffer from bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding, which often occurs during sleep. These custom-fitted devices not only protect teeth from damage due to grinding but also reduce the risk of associated symptoms such as sore jaw muscles, sleep disruptions, headaches, and locked jaw incidents.
At Luna Dental, the process begins by taking an accurate digital impression of your teeth to ensure the night guard fits perfectly. Dr. Parekh will guide you through the selection of materials and discuss the best options for your specific needs, ensuring comfort and effectiveness. The goal is to provide a solution that enhances sleep quality while protecting dental health.
How Night Guards Can Help With Teeth Grinding and Clenching
Teeth grinding and clenching, often occurring unconsciously during sleep or under stress, can lead to the dental issues mentioned above. Factors contributing to these behaviours include stress, misaligned teeth, certain medications, lifestyle habits like alcohol and caffeine intake, and genetic predispositions.
Additionally, sleep disorders such as sleep apnea can trigger these actions. Identifying and managing the underlying causes is key to preventing further damage and maintaining oral health.
