Do you suffer from grinding or clenching of your teeth while you sleep? These symptoms are classified as bruxism which affect 1 in 12 people causing tooth damage, jaw pain, and insomnia. If you suffer from any of the symptoms of bruxism, you should wear a night guard to protect your teeth. Wearing a night guard offers you several benefits and keeps your smile looking beautiful all day long.
Wear a night guard to relieve tooth and jaw pain.
Prevents Teeth Damage
When someone suffers from bruxism, they unconsciously grind and clench their teeth causing chipped teeth, damaged fillings, and excessive wear on their enamel. The damage that occurs in your mouth can result in costly restoration procedures and even retreatment for your filling. Wearing a night guard prevents your upper and bottom teeth from coming in contact reducing the chance of grinding and clenching.
Reduces Headaches and Pain
The grinding and clenching of your teeth often cause jaw pain, tooth sensitivity, headaches along with a majority of other pain related issues. Investing in a night guard helps to alleviate the pain and headaches associated with bruxism and other disorders. Having your guard personalized to your mouth help align your teeth and bite relieving jaw pain.
Improves Sleep Patterns
Wearing a custom night guard helps to relieve the pain associated with bruxism while providing maximum comfort for your mouth. The night guard positions your jaw in a way that promotes muscle relaxation. Once the stress on your jaw is relieved, you now can finally get some sleep. Sleeping with a night guard has been found to improve sleep patterns drastically in bruxism sufferers.
