Posted by Teeth Devices on April 6th, 2021
If you suffer from nightly jaw clenching, tooth grinding, a condition called bruxism or temporomandibular disorder (also called TMD), you know how uncomfortable the side effects can be. You may regularly wake up with headaches, jaw or facial pain, notice your teeth are wearing down, or experience disrupted sleep patterns. Fortunately there is a simple solution that can dramatically change your life - being fitted for a nightguard.
A night guard holds more benefits than simply preventing teeth grinding while one sleeps. Grinding one’s teeth is a bad habit that can occur while someone is awake and while someone sleeps. Grinding teeth at night may not seem like too serious of a problem to some, but it can cause serious damage to one’s teeth if it continues for a long period of time. Teeth grinding is referred to as bruxism and can cause more than simple damage to one’s teeth.
While some people can deal with teeth grinding through simple therapy, others may need more extensive treatment. People grinding their teeth in their sleep will find it more difficult to stop. Treatment for bruxism depends entirely on the individual. Some people may not need extensive treatment or treatment at all.
A night guard will help with more than just teeth grinding as they can be constructed of hard acrylic or soft materials and fit over your upper or lower teeth. Soft Night Guards for Clenching are customized to each patient and will fit around the upper and sometimes lower teeth. If a patient needs something to prevent teeth grinding and allow for uninterrupted sleep, then a night guard may be the best solution.
The nightguard positions your jaw in such a way that facilitates muscle relaxation, and by keeping these muscles relaxed. Night guards can help ensure a restful night of painless sleep for anyone struggling with bruxism or teeth grinding. If you find that you wake up each morning with unexplainable headaches or wake up feeling exhausted, then you may be grinding your teeth in your sleep. If you are experiencing pain in your teeth or other dental issues, it may not be due to teeth grinding.
The tooth damage caused by the unconscious nightly grinding and clenching of your teeth and jaw tends to be quite costly. Perhaps the greatest downside of teeth clenching is that it slowly but surely destroys your teeth over the years. When this happens, the restorative dental treatments required for both aesthetic and functional purposes are an expensive investment.
Custom dual layer night guard for clenching is made of a softer inner layer of plastic covered with a hard plastic outer shell thus called a “dual” layer. If you suspect you may suffer from Bruxism, choose Soft Night Guard for Teeth online.
