Protect Your Smile from Nighttime Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Do you often wake up with a sore, tired jaw, unexplained headaches, or sensitive teeth? These are classic signs of bruxism, the involuntary clenching and grinding of teeth, which most often occurs during sleep. This unconscious habit can exert a significant force on your teeth, leading to considerable damage over time. At Veda Family Dentistry, we offer the most effective solution for protecting your smile: a professionally crafted, custom-fitted night guard.
What is Bruxism and Why is it So Damaging?
Bruxism is a condition characterized by the unconscious clenching or grinding of teeth. While it can happen during the day, it is most common and destructive at night. The immense, prolonged pressure from grinding can have serious consequences for your oral health.
Left untreated, bruxism can lead to:
Worn-down, flat, or short teeth
Chipped, cracked, or fractured teeth and fillings
Increased and painful tooth sensitivity
Chronic jaw pain, facial muscle soreness, and TMJ disorders
Frequent tension headaches, especially in the morning
The Superior Protection of a Custom Nightguard
While you can find over-the-counter guards, they are not a proper solution for bruxism. These ill-fitting, bulky guards are often made of a soft material that can actually encourage a chewing reflex, potentially exacerbating muscle activity.
A professional, custom-fitted nightguard from Veda Family Dentistry is fundamentally different. It is fabricated from a precise digital impression of your teeth and made from a durable, rigid acrylic. This creates a comfortable, low-profile guard with a smooth surface that allows your teeth to glide freely. It doesn't just cushion your teeth; it protects them from wear and helps to relax your jaw muscles, providing a more therapeutic and protective solution.
The Simple Process for Finding Relief
Getting a custom nightguard to protect your smile is a simple and straightforward two-visit process.
Diagnosis & Impression: Your journey begins with a thorough examination by our doctors to confirm that bruxism is the cause of your symptoms. Once diagnosed, we will take a quick and comfortable digital scan of your teeth. There are no messy putty impressions involved.
The Fitting: Your custom nightguard will be ready in approximately one to two weeks. You will return for a quick fitting appointment where we ensure the guard fits perfectly and feels comfortable. Dr. Priya or Dr. Moosavi will make any necessary adjustments to your bite and provide you with instructions on how to wear and care for your new appliance.
