Night Guards

Night guards (Occlusal guards) are custom designed dental appliances that protect your teeth from the destructive effects of grinding (bruxism). They act as a protective cushion while you sleep preventing your teeth from grinding or clenching, which helps alleviate associated symptoms such as morning headaches, tooth damage, and jaw tension.
