Protecting Your Teeth

Are you guilty of grinding your teeth and clenching your jaw in your sleep? If so, you are not alone! This is known as bruxism, the unconscious grinding of teeth while you drift off into dreamland.

According to Premier Health, about 10% of adults and 15% of children suffer from bruxism. In addition to feeling morning aches and pain around the jaw region, there are multiple consequences for unaddressed bruxism such as poor sleep patterns, headaches and more!

Without ever seeking a solution, teeth grinders stand to further exacerbate the after-effects of bruxism which could get worse and worse.

So, how do you minimize bruxism? The easiest way is to get a custom night guard for yourself!

A night guard is an oral appliance that is used to protect teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep. It is a mouth guard-like device made of soft or hard plastic that fits over your upper or lower teeth.
Wearing a night guard can offer many benefits, which we will go into detail in this post.

Here are the top 7 benefits of wearing a night guard:

Prevents Tooth Damage
Grinding and clenching your teeth during sleep may cause significant damage to your teeth. The more your teeth rub together, the more tooth enamel you wear down, which can create complications with the root canal, gums and nerves around the area. Wearing a night guard can help prevent this type of damage and tooth pain by providing a protective barrier between your top and bottom teeth. This allows you to keep your natural smile intact while helping to reduce the risk of tooth damage over time.

Releases Tension and Minimizes Jaw Pain
Wearing a night guard can significantly help to release tension and pain from the jaw area helping your jaw muscles relax. Many people who grind or clench their teeth at night experience tightness or soreness in the morning because their jaws have been clenched for an extended period of time. Wearing a custom fit night guard helps to relieve this tension as it prevents you from grinding or clenching your teeth together. Additionally, night guards work because they provide a different kind of tension on the teeth which helps to retrain the brain to let go of tension in the jaw.

Better Sleep
One of the biggest benefits of wearing a properly fitted night guard (outside of not further damaging your teeth) is that it can help improve your overall quality of sleep. By preventing you from grinding or clenching your teeth at night, a night guard helps reduce noise, discomfort, and tension that may interfere with deep REM sleep cycles. As such, you may find that you wake up feeling more rested than before after using one! Getting better quality sleep has been tied to better health, lower blood sugar levels, and reduced blood pressure!

Minimizes Snoring
Not only can wearing a night guard help protect your teeth, but it can also reduce snoring caused by excessive jaw movement during sleep. When your jaw moves too much while sleeping, it can cause vibrations in your throat which causes snoring sounds that are all-too familiar to anyone who has ever been in the same room as someone who snores. As such, a night guard helps to limit jaw movement so that there are no vibrations created in the throat while sleeping – resulting in less snoring!

Custom-fitted
A night guard is a great way to protect your teeth while you sleep. Not only can it be custom fitted to the inside of your mouth, providing a comfortable and secure fit as you rest, but it also provides long wear due to its durability. Having high-quality materials and a user-friendly design allows for frequent use over an extended period of time, reducing treatment episodes and helping you save money in the long run.

Saves Money
Wearing a night guard has the potential to save you significant money down the line by reducing costly dental visits due to tooth damage caused by grinding or clenching at night. Investing in one now could save you hundreds (or even thousands) later on if you're able to avoid expensive treatments for damaged teeth!
