What Are Mouth and Night Guards?
Mouth and night guards are dental devices designed to protect the teeth, gums, and jaw from various issues, often related to clenching, grinding, or impact. These guards are typically custom-made by dentists to fit an individual's mouth, ensuring a comfortable and effective fit. At The Dental Touch Aesthetic Wellness Studio, our dental practitioners may prescribe mouth and night guards to protect oral health, whether from sports-related injuries or the harmful effects of teeth grinding and clenching. Custom-fitted guards offer the best protection and comfort, although over-the-counter options are available for those seeking a more affordable solution. Schedule a consultation with our team in Leesburg, FL to ensure your guard fits appropriately.
How Do Mouth and Night Guards Work?
Mouth and night guards are dental devices designed to protect the teeth and surrounding tissues from injury or damage. Mouth guards cushion impacts to the face during contact sports, reducing the risk of broken teeth, cut lips, and other oral injuries. They come in various forms, including stock mouth guards, boil-and-bite guards, and custom-fitted options made by a dentist for the best fit and protection. Night guards, on the other hand, are primarily used to prevent damage from teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism) during sleep. They create a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, protecting them from wear and reducing jaw pain. Night guards are available in soft versions for mild bruxism and hard versions for more severe cases.
What Are the Benefits of Mouth and Night Guards?
Mouth and night guards offer a range of benefits that extend beyond just protecting the teeth. Whether used during sports or while sleeping, these dental devices help safeguard your oral health and overall well-being. Some benefits of using mouth and night guards include:
- Prevention of dental injuries: Mouth guards cushion the impact of blows to the face, reducing the risk of broken teeth, cut lips, and other oral injuries during sports.
- Protection from teeth grinding: Night guards prevent damage caused by bruxism, such as worn-down teeth, cracks, and fractures.
- Alleviation of jaw pain: By reducing the pressure from clenching, night guards can help relieve jaw pain and discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
- Prevention of headaches: Night guards can reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches caused by teeth grinding.
- Improved sleep quality: By minimizing disruptions from bruxism, night guards can contribute to better, more restful sleep.
- Cost-effective preventive measure: Investing in mouth and night guards can prevent the need for more costly dental treatments in the future, such as crowns, implants, or TMJ therapy.
