When You Need Night Guards

This nighttime condition comes with many subtle symptoms that can be hard to notice. Here are a few conditions to keep in mind when considering dental night guards and why they are important. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Morning Headaches and Facial Pain

Waking up with persistent headaches can be a direct result of nighttime teeth grinding or clenching throughout the day. Night guards give your teeth the opportunity to heal from what is causing your tooth tension and properly align your teeth together.

Bad Dental Habits

Teeth grinding and clenching are the most common reasons people rely on mouthguards. Dental night guards coach your subconscious to avoid these negative dental habits. Avoiding these habits is especially important if you are adjusting to a new dental prosthetic, such as a dental crown or dentures.

Many people don’t realize that they are clenching their teeth. Noticeable signs of wear on your teeth, such as chips or increased sensitivity, may indicate that your teeth are going through unnecessary strain. Our team is happy to coach you through this condition to help you avoid further tooth damage and discomfort.

TMJ Disorder Symptoms

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawline to your cheekbones. For various reasons, this joint can become inflamed, which can cause tension and pain overnight. Night guards reduce the tension caused by this disorder and align the jawline to reduce additional discomfort and damage.

Difference Between Bite and Night Guards

Boise Dentistry Co offers bite and mouth guards to address jaw pain and TMJ disorder-related treatment. These are the differences between the two appliances.

  • Bite Guards: Bite guards focus on more extensive relief for a long period of time. These appliances are built to gradually reposition your muscles or joints in conditions such as TMJ disorder or jaw misalignment.
  • Night Guards: Night guards are designed for use overnight, when symptoms typically intensify. These guards are typically not built for aligning jaw muscles, but act as a buffer to protect your smile against further damage.

Our Custom Night Guards in Boise, ID

Night guards should have a custom fit to make sure they are working properly for your smile. If they are shaped improperly they can actually do more damage than harm. That is why having a team that can help you with custom night guards is so important.

For a custom night guard you can come in for a consultation and visit, where we will take impressions of your teeth. Once we craft the night guard, you can come pick it up in our office. We will test it to make sure it is doing its job correctly.

After that you can start wearing it every night. We recommend routine wear for best results.
