Guarding Your Teeth All Night Long

Effective Night Guard Solutions in Midtown Manhattan, NY

Are you someone who grinds or clenches their teeth while sleeping? Do you suffer from constant headaches? Have you ever had issues with your jaw and are unsure of the reason behind it? If yes, it’s likely a night guard will lead you to the answer to your frustrating problems. At Midtown Dental Care, we know that there is more to a healthy mouth than just clean, white teeth, it’s also about the way you care for your teeth when you’re least paying attention to them. 

What Is a Night Guard? 

A night guard is often referred to as a bruxism appliance, nocturnal bite plate, or an occlusal guard and are used to help patients with Bruxism protect their teeth at night. Bruxism is the medical name given to those who involuntarily clench or grind their teeth. A night guard comes in very handy to these types of people because it provides a protective barrier to the upper and lower teeth which can help to stop the damage or wear to teeth as a result of grinding or clenching. Night guards are typically made from hard or soft plastic and should be custom fitted to your mouth for optimum results. The repetitiveness of grinding or clenching teeth while sleeping can lead to broken teeth, bone damage, and TMJ but wearing your night guard can eliminate those possibilities. 

Reasons You Should Wear a Night Guard

Night guards are there to do exactly what they are named after; guarding your teeth at night while you sleep. Most of what we do in our sleep is involuntary but that does not mean with a little help, the bad habits can't be stopped. When it comes to night guards there are many reasons why wearing them can benefit your life and your sleep, and luckily we’ve listed a few below! 

Relief of headaches. Chronic, or tension headaches, can be a direct result of grinding or clenching your teeth while sleeping. If you have noticed that you wake up all too often with a headache, it is likely because you put too much pressure on your jaw while sleeping. 

TMJ. TMJ is short for temporomandibular joint disorder and can affect the muscles in your jaw that are used to chew. Some can get TMJ from other things but a top reason many of our patients suffer from TMJ is due to the lack of night guard wear while sleeping. 

Pain in your teeth. If you have noticed a lot of pain in your teeth but don’t have any cavities, grinding and clenching your teeth repeatedly can cause tooth sensitivity or pain possibly due to enamel damage or an underlying fracture you can’t see with your eyes. 

Wear and tear. While you might not notice your teeth are wearing down, our professionals will. Bruxism will cause your protective enamel to wear down, or for your tooth or crown to crack, leaving your teeth exposed to cavities, fractures, discoloration, and more.
