Night and Mouth Guards for Clenching & Grinding

Alleviate jaw pain as well as muscle pain and stop wearing down your teeth from clenching and grinding with one of our custom made mouth or night guards.

Many people suffer from clenching and grinding problems because their teeth do not align correctly. This poses a serious threat to not only the teeth and jaw, but puts unnecessary stress on muscles in the head, neck, face, and back. When these muscles are put under stress they can cause migraines, headaches, neck pain, and facial asymmetry. We’ll help reduce clenching and grinding with a custom made mouthguard.

Key Benefits:
  • Migraine and headache relief
  • Aid in relieving neck and back pain
  • Relieve jaw and facial pain
  • Can be a medication free alternative to pain relief
  • Less pressure on your teeth

Benefits of Custom Nightguards

A custom nightguard is a dental device designed to be worn over your teeth while you sleep to prevent grinding and clenching.

Protects Teeth from Damage

Custom nightguards prevent enamel wear, tooth fractures, and other damage caused by grinding and clenching.

Reduces Jaw Pain

Wearing a nightguard can alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with TMJ disorders and muscle tension.

Improves Sleep Quality

By reducing the effects of bruxism, a custom nightguard can help you achieve a more restful sleep.

Long-Lasting Durability

Custom nightguards are made from high-quality materials designed to withstand nightly use and last for several years.

Comfortable Fit

Tailored specifically to your mouth, custom nightguards offer a comfortable and secure fit, ensuring you can sleep without discomfort.

What Are the Types of Sports Mouthguards?

  • Standard Mouthguards: These kinds of sports guards are often used by new athletes who head straight to the sporting goods store to pick out a sports mouthguard. They are pre-fabricated and ready to wear mouth guards. They are pretty economical but may be uncomfortable and not provide a proper fit. Due to their ill-fit, they could cause gagging, difficulty in breathing, and hinder your speech.
  • Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards: Boil-and-bite sports guards make use of thermoplastic which can be made to fit when heated. These sports guards are heated using boiling water, and then the bite is customized by biting into the flexible plastic, which takes the shape of the teeth. If the fit is not comfortable, you can adjust them by heating them again. They are available both at drug stores and some sporting goods stores. These mouthguards offer an affordable option with a better fit than stock mouthguards.
  • Custom Mouthguards: Custom mouthguards are tailor-made to provide a superior fit and are much more comfortable. The customized fit increases protection. These kinds of mouthguards can be made at our dental office in Las Vegas. We take an impression of your teeth and send them to a dental laboratory for the fabrication of your mouthguard. Although this is a little costlier, the mouthguard will protect all of your teeth and is created to add effective cushioning to safeguard you against falls and blows to the chin.
