Night Guards

<p>G.J.Smiles</p> in Grand Junction CO

Night-time tooth grinding causes jaw pain and destroys the surface of your teeth. Severe tooth grinding causes enamel damage, jaw joint inflammation, and irritation to the gums. Custom night guards provide a cushion between the upper and lower teeth. The night guard absorbs the force of the grinding and protects the teeth. A night guard is similar to the retainers that patients wear after the removal of braces.

Night guards are custom made for each patient to ensure maximum effectiveness. It takes two appointments to make a night guard; the first for the tooth impression and the second to determine if any adjustments need to be made after the patient wears it for a couple of weeks. The night guard is worn at night. Night guards are durable and can last up to ten years. Not using a night guard can take ten years off the life of your teeth. Clearly, a night guard is a necessity for those who grind their teeth at night.
