If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or sensitive teeth, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep. This condition, known as bruxism, can place excessive pressure on your teeth and jaw, leading to worn enamel, cracked teeth, and chronic discomfort over time. At Elite Dentistry, we provide custom nightguards that are designed to protect your teeth, relieve jaw tension, and help prevent long-term damage caused by nighttime grinding and clenching.
Unlike over-the-counter mouthguards, our custom nightguards are made specifically for your smile, providing a comfortable fit, improved durability, and superior protection. Whether you have been diagnosed with bruxism, experience symptoms of a TMJ disorder, or simply want to protect your teeth from excessive wear, our personalized nightguards offer an effective, non-invasive solution.
A custom nightguard is a professionally made oral appliance that is worn over your teeth while you sleep. It acts as a protective cushion between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the damaging effects of grinding and clenching. By minimizing pressure on your teeth and jaw joints, a nightguard helps protect your natural teeth while allowing your jaw muscles to relax throughout the night.
Because every patient’s bite is unique, custom nightguards are created using precise digital scans or impressions of your teeth. This personalized fit makes them significantly more comfortable and effective than generic boil-and-bite or store-bought options.
Proper care helps keep your nightguard clean, comfortable, and long-lasting.
With proper maintenance, your custom nightguard can provide years of reliable protection.
Many people grind or clench their teeth unconsciously while sleeping and may not realize they have a problem until symptoms begin to appear. Over time, untreated bruxism can cause permanent damage to your teeth, dental restorations, and jaw joints.
