Why Choose Beam Dental
Our dedicated team of dentists, implant specialists, hygienists, and care specialists in Malvern, PA, works together to create a convenient dental experience.
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a very common condition that affects many adults during sleep. Even when the grinding does not cause immediate pain, it can lead to long-term damage such as worn enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and even fractures. Many patients also experience headaches and sore jaw muscles.
At our Malvern office, custom nightguards offer a professional solution to protect your smile. These appliances are made to fit the exact contours of your teeth, creating a comfortable barrier that keeps them from grinding against each other while you sleep. Unlike generic over-the-counter guards, a custom-made nightguard ensures a precise fit and uses quality materials like hard acrylic or silicone, chosen based on the severity of your grinding.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best way to clean and care for my nightguard?
You should rinse your nightguard immediately after use and clean it regularly with a soft brush and mild soap. It is also important to let it air dry completely and store it in a ventilated case to maintain hygiene.
How long will my custom nightguard last?
With proper care, a custom-fit nightguard can last for several years. Its lifespan depends on the severity of your grinding and the durability of the materials used in its construction.
How can a custom nightguard help with my jaw pain?
By cushioning the teeth, the nightguard helps relieve the tension in your jaw muscles, which can significantly reduce the frequency of headaches and facial soreness associated with bruxism.
What is the primary purpose of a nightguard?
A nightguard is a removable device that creates a physical barrier between your upper and lower teeth to prevent contact and absorb the pressure caused by clenching and grinding.
