Night guards are a practical solution for those who grind their teeth during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. These custom-fitted devices cushion your teeth and prevent the wear and damage caused by grinding, thereby protecting your enamel, reducing jaw tension, and minimizing the risk of tooth fractures and TMJ disorders. Our experienced dental team is skilled in creating night guards that fit comfortably and provide effective protection without disrupting your sleep.
What Are Night Guards?
Night guards are protective devices worn over the teeth during sleep to prevent the surfaces of your teeth from grinding together. They are custom-made in a dental lab from impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit that is both comfortable and effective. Night guards are typically made from durable, high-quality materials that withstand the forces of grinding, offering both protection and longevity.
The Night Guard Fitting Experience
At Modern Smiles Nampa, the process of getting your custom night guard starts with a detailed assessment of your dental health and grinding habits. We then take precise impressions of your teeth to create a guard that fits flawlessly. During a follow-up visit, we ensure the night guard fits properly and make any necessary adjustments. The fitting process is simple and straightforward, ensuring your night guard is comfortable and effective from the very first night.
