Do you wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You might be grinding your teeth at night and not even know it! This common condition, called bruxism, can cause real damage over time if left untreated. Fortunately, there is a tailored and comfortable way to protect your smile while you sleep: custom bruxism nightguards. Bruxism Nightguards in Farmington Hills offer a personalized solution to help prevent long-term damage and improve your quality of sleep.
At Comfort Dental Spa, we want every member of your family to enjoy days free of bruxism pain and a healthy set of teeth. Let’s look at how a nightguard can make all the difference!
What Is Bruxism?
Unintentionally clenching or grinding your teeth is known as bruxism. Although it can happen while you’re awake, it usually happens while you’re sleeping. Many people are unaware that they possess it. Natural sleep patterns and some medical disorders, including down syndrome, or even adverse drug reactions, have been connected to sleep-related bruxism. If treatment is not received, it can erode your teeth, harm dental work, and result in symptoms like morning jaw pain, temple headaches, or difficulty moving your jaw.
According to the International Journal of the Science and Practice of Sleep Medicine, which examines patient data and records, many people with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) also tend to grind their teeth.
How Bruxism Nightguards Help Prevent Nighttime Teeth Grinding
- Customization: Our dental professionals craft custom-fit nightguards, which provide a fit designed to suit your mouth comfortably and securely. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) emphasizes how crucial properly fitted mouthguards are to offering optimal support and protection. Nightguards at our practice are fabricated from hard or soft materials designed to provide maximum relief.
- Protection Against Dental Damage: Tooth attrition, fractures, and damage to preexisting dental work are just a few serious dental problems that can result from bruxism. In order to prevent teeth from this kind of harm, nightguards offer a barrier that absorbs and distributes the pressures applied during grinding.
- Nightguard Placement: Nightguards decrease tooth damage from grinding by holding the jaw in a specific position and/or acting as a barrier. Additionally, some mouthguards keep the jaw slightly open so that the masseter muscles – the muscles used for chewing – can rest all night.
Although there is currently no cure for bruxism, these personalized mouthguards have been found to offer much-needed relief for many symptoms!
