Protect Your Teeth and Jaws While You Sleep

Night guards are custom-fitted dental appliances that protect your teeth and jaw while you sleep. They act as a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage caused by grinding (bruxism) or clenching. Made from durable, biocompatible materials, night guards reduce stress on your jaw muscles and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), helping to alleviate pain, prevent enamel erosion, and minimize the risk of cracked or chipped teeth. At BioDental, our same-day, 3D-printed night guards provide a comfortable, precise fit tailored to your unique needs for optimal protection.

Night Guards Help With:

  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Jaw clenching
  • Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain and strain
  • Headaches and facial pain caused by muscle overuse
  • Cracked or chipped teeth due to pressure and grinding
  • Sleep disruptions linked to jaw and dental issues
  • Long-term tooth wear and uneven bite alignment

What Is the Same-Day Night Guard Process?

At BioDental, getting your custom night guard is easy. Dr. Matian begins by digitally scanning your teeth using advanced 3D imaging technology. The digital scan creates a custom night guard tailored to your unique bite. Using our state-of-the-art 3D printer, your night guard is crafted in just a few hours. Before you leave, Dr. Matian ensures it fits perfectly and instructs you on proper usage. You must wear the guard regularly at night while sleeping.

Can Night Guards Treat TMJ Disorders?

Yes, night guards can help alleviate the symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. By reducing clenching and grinding, they relieve pressure on the TMJ, helping to ease pain, minimize inflammation, and prevent further strain on the joint.

Benefits of Night Guards:

  • Preventing enamel erosion and tooth damage
  • Reducing jaw muscle tension and clenching pain
  • Alleviating temporomandibular joint (TMJ) discomfort
  • Protecting teeth from fractures or chips
  • Promoting restful, uninterrupted sleep
  • Custom-fitted for optimal comfort and effectiveness
  • Preventing costly dental repairs caused by grinding
  • Supporting long-term oral health and bite alignment

How Long Do Night Guards Last?

The lifespan of a night guard depends on the material, how often you use it, and the intensity of your grinding or clenching. With proper care, high-quality night guards last 2 to 5 years. Regular check-ups with Dr. Matian will ensure your guard remains in good condition.

How Do I Clean and Maintain My Night Guard?

To keep your night guard clean, rinse it with warm water after each use and brush it gently with a toothbrush and mild soap or non-abrasive toothpaste. Store it in a ventilated case when not in use, and avoid exposing it to extreme heat, which can warp the material.
