Nightguards for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, wears down teeth, causes jaw pain, and can damage restorations. A custom nightguard is a simple, effective solution that protects your smile while you sleep.
Why Grinding Happens
Many people grind their teeth at night due to stress, misalignment, or sleep patterns — often without realizing it. Over time this wears enamel, cracks teeth, and strains the jaw joints, causing pain and headaches.
How a Nightguard Helps
A custom-fit nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the forces of grinding. It prevents damage, relieves jaw tension, and protects investments like veneers and implants.
Custom Comfort
Unlike store-bought options, a custom nightguard fits precisely and comfortably. Winter Springs patients who wear one regularly report less jaw pain and better sleep.
