With stress levels at an all-time high, we don’t often think about the effect of stress on our teeth. One of the many manifestations of stress is nighttime clenching and grinding of your teeth. TMJ pain, excessive tooth wear, and fractured teeth are among the multiple signs of grinding. Additionally, problems with the temporomandibuar joint (TMJ) can cause headaches, jaw aches, and degenerative joint problems.
Professional nightguards are an excellent way to prevent the worsening of the effects of grinding. The process is easy: We take a mold of your teeth and your bite and make either an upper or lower nightguard customized to your teeth. Professional-made night guards are much smaller and comfortable than the store bought ones, and they are more rigid, which makes them last much longer!

In addition to being much smaller and more comfortable than store-bought guards, professional-made night guards are adjusted in the office to fit your individual wear pattern. They are also more rigid, which makes them last much longer!
