Stop teeth grinding and jaw pain with T32 Dental's custom night guards, designed to fit your teeth perfectly and give you lasting protection while you sleep.
A night guard, also known as an occlusal splint, is a custom-fitted appliance that sits between your teeth while you sleep, protecting them from grinding damage and relieving the jaw pain and headaches that come with it. At T32 Dental, we fit each guard to your exact bite so it stays comfortable through the night.
Getting a custom night guard not only stops morning jaw pain, but also protects your teeth from expensive damage down the road. We'll create a guard that fits your bite precisely and stays comfortable all night.
Each night guard appointment includes:
Waking up with jaw tightness or soreness
Morning headaches that won't go away
Teeth that look worn down or feel sensitive
Grinding or clenching sounds while you sleep
Jaw clicking or popping when you open your mouth
Pain when eating or opening your mouth wide
Store-bought night guards use a one-size-fits-all approach, which is why they often feel bulky, slip out, or make you gag. Custom night guards are made from impressions of your actual teeth, so they fit your mouth properly and stay comfortable throughout the night. They also last much longer and protect your teeth more effectively than pharmacy options.
A night guard won't stop the grinding habit itself, but it creates a protective barrier between your teeth so the damage stops, and as your jaw muscles start to relax over time. Many people find they grind less over time once the jaw muscles start to relax.
The cost varies depending on the type of guard and your specific needs, but we'll give you a clear breakdown before any treatment begins, and if you have private health insurance, we're happy to help you check your coverage and take care of the claim.
A night guard won't eliminate TMJ completely, but it reduces the grinding pressure that aggravates your jaw joints and helps your muscles relax overnight, which means less pain, clicking, and morning stiffness over time.
Yes, and if you have crowns, veneers, or implants, a custom night guard is especially worth considering since it's designed to fit around your existing dental work and protect it from grinding pressure.
