How are custom nightguards made?
The process begins with our team taking impressions of your upper and lower teeth and sending them off to a dental lab, where technicians will craft a custom nightguard from high-quality, durable materials. Our custom nightguards are designed to match the precise contours of your teeth, providing comfort and maximum protection. Once completed, we will check the fit and make any necessary adjustments to ensure your new oral appliance fits securely and functions effectively. Should you ever have any concerns with your nightguard, feel free to bring it with you to your next appointment.
Who should get a custom nightguard?
A custom nightguard is recommended for people who grind or clench their teeth during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. It’s also beneficial for those with jaw pain, headaches, or dental wear due to grinding or clenching. Individuals with a history of broken or chipped teeth, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, or frequent morning jaw discomfort can also benefit. A custom nightguard helps protect the teeth, jaw, and surrounding muscles by providing a cushion that absorbs the force of grinding or clenching. Our team can also help you determine if a custom nightguard may be beneficial for you.
Are custom nightguards worth the investment?
Yes, custom nightguards are generally worth the investment, especially for those with bruxism or related dental issues. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom nightguards are made to fit the unique shape of your teeth and jaw, offering superior comfort, protection, and durability. They help prevent costly dental damage, such as worn enamel, chipped or cracked teeth, and TMJ problems. Additionally, custom nightguards can improve sleep quality by reducing discomfort and jaw pain. While they may have a higher initial cost, their long-term benefits and durability often make them a cost-effective choice for protecting your oral health!
