  • 2.       Tooth damage
  • 3.       Half moon shaped scallops at the edge of tongue
  • 4.       Flat teeth
  • 5.       Increased sensitivity to hot and cold
  • 6.       Tooth Fracture

What Is a Night Guard

A night guard is a removable appliance or an Occlusal Splint which protects the teeth form grinding by covering the biting surface of teeth. It is custom fabricated by taking impression of upper or lower jaw and this measurement is sent to the dental lab. It is then fitted by your dentist in your mouth. They are made up of hard or soft acrylic. When it comes to night guards precise fit and right materials are crucial. Well fitting night guard can be helpful in managing several conditions. It can protect your teeth if you are prone to grinding and clenching in sleep.

If your night guard doesn’t fit properly, it can cause more pain, and it could create additional dental issues. To reduce your risk of these concerns, always start by getting a high-quality, custom-fitted night guard. This type of night guard will give you the best chance of successful treatment and will typically be far more comfortable than an over-the-counter night guards.
