Nightguards are protective dental devices worn during sleep to prevent damage from teeth grinding and clenching, a condition known as bruxism. These custom-fitted guards help to cushion the teeth and reduce stress on the jaw joints and muscles, preventing wear and tear on the teeth, as well as reducing pain and discomfort associated with jaw disorders like TMJ. Nightguards are typically made from durable, high-quality materials that comfortably fit over the upper or lower teeth, depending on the individual's needs. At Dental Associates, nightguards are carefully crafted to ensure a precise fit, providing effective protection and comfort throughout the night.
