Protect Your Smile With a Custom Nightguard
Do you wake up with a sore jaw or a headache? Does your partner mention hearing you grind your teeth at night? These could be signs of bruxism, a condition in which you clench or grind your teeth, often without realizing it. When left untreated, bruxism can cause significant damage to your teeth and jaw, leading to pain and long-term oral health issues.
At Caring Dental of Spotswood, we provide custom-made nightguards that go beyond the limitations of over-the-counter options to protect patients’ smiles and improve their quality of life.
Why DIY Nightguards Fall Short
Store-bought nightguards may seem like a simple solution, but they rarely deliver the comfort or protection patients need. These “boil-and-bite” products are designed to fit a wide range of mouths, often resulting in a poor fit and inadequate coverage. This one-size-fits-all approach can make them uncomfortable to wear or, worse, ineffective at preventing damage caused by bruxism.
Think of it like dentures—you wouldn’t trust a prefabricated set to fit your mouth perfectly. The same logic applies here. For optimal protection, nothing compares to a custom-fitted nightguard.
What Makes Custom Nightguards Different?
At Caring Dental of Spotswood, we ensure a precise and comfortable fit by creating a detailed 3D image of patients’ teeth. This advanced technology eliminates the need for messy, traditional impressions while providing a far more accurate result.
With a custom nightguard, patients experience a snug fit that stays in place throughout the night, offering superior comfort and durability. Unlike DIY options, we create high-quality nightguards that last, saving time and money in the long run.
Do You Need a Nightguard?
Bruxism often goes unnoticed until the symptoms start affecting your daily life. You may benefit from a nightguard if you experience:
- Frequent headaches or jaw pain when you wake up
- Grinding noises at night, often reported by your partner
- Teeth that appear worn, chipped, or uneven
- Tension or soreness in your jaw muscles
Ignoring these signs can lead to more serious dental problems, including broken teeth, TMJ issues, and even changes to your facial structure.
