What are the benefits of custom nightguards?
Custom nightguards are designed specifically for your bite, offering superior comfort and effectiveness compared to over-the-counter options. They help protect teeth from grinding damage, reduce jaw tension, and support TMJ health. Because they are tailored to your mouth, custom guards are more durable, fit securely, and are less likely to shift during sleep, providing consistent protection.
Do nightguards help with TMJ?
Custom nightguards can be very helpful for patients experiencing TMJ discomfort related to clenching or grinding. A properly fitted nightguard helps reduce pressure on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles while you sleep. By minimizing strain and preventing tooth wear, nightguards can ease symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and facial soreness, supporting improved comfort and long-term oral health.
What is the process for getting a custom nightguard from a dentist?
The process begins with a thorough exam to evaluate your bite, jaw alignment, and signs of grinding. We then take precise digital scans of your teeth to design a nightguard that fits comfortably and securely. Once fabricated, we will ensure proper fit and make any necessary adjustments so your appliance provides maximum protection and relief.
Are custom nightguards expensive?
The cost of a custom nightguard varies based on your individual needs, but many patients find them to be a worthwhile investment in protecting their teeth and reducing discomfort. We also provide flexible financing options through Cherry and CareCredit to help make treatment affordable and manageable for your budget.
