If you are having trouble sleeping at night, then it's time to start thinking about your teeth! The tension in your jaw causes more problems than you may be aware of. And taking the right steps to correct the tension solves health issues that you didn't know were connected to your mouth.
Wearing a night guard has many benefits! When you're feeling stressed, you're more likely to grind your teeth when you sleep. Hard Night Guard for Teeth Grinding prevents this from happening. But these benefits offer more than just the prevention of teeth grinding.
If you prevent teeth grinding, then you prevent all the tooth troubles that teeth grinding brings along with it. A night guard ensures that your top teeth and bottom teeth have no contact while you sleep. Teeth grinding is common and causes an abundance of problems for your teeth. You are unaware that you are grinding your teeth while you sleep. So you don't have much control over it unless you use a night guard. Grinding causes teeth to lose enamel. Enamel loss leads to over-sensitive teeth.
Teeth grinding also causes preexisting fillings to become damaged. Damage to your fillings will land you a trip back to the dentist! And worst of all is the possibility of grinding your teeth hard enough to break or chip them. To protect your teeth from any of these issues, it's best to wear a Hard Night Guard for Teeth Grinding while sleeping.
Another common thing that we do without control in our sleep is clenching our jaw. The jaw joint that undergoes tension is the temporomandibular joint or TMJ. When your jaw joint is not correctly aligned, it is referred to as temporomandibular joint dysfunction or TMD.
Wearing a dental night guard reduces both jaw tension and pain caused by TMD. The dental guard is made specifically for your teeth. This way, it fits comfortably and lightly into your mouth. It significantly reduces the stress that your jaw joints and muscles undergo while you sleep. And your jaw is then able to relax.
If you've been waking up with headaches, then you might be grinding your teeth and clenching your jaw shut while you sleep. Grinding and clenching your teeth also causes headaches and toothaches. Excessive grinding and clenching of your teeth can cause muscle fatigues, jaw aches, earaches, and neck pains. But having a night guard custom made to your mouth helps prevent these issues.
Night guards can also be made to help align your teeth and overbite or underbite to prevent associated jaw pain. Your custom-made hard night guard will fit into your mouth perfectly to align the jaw into a position that reduces stress. Your muscles will then be able to relax. In return, you will sleep stress-free.
