Jaw & Tooth Protection
How Can a Nightguard Help?
A custom nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while you sleep. This helps reduce the pressure caused by grinding or clenching and can help prevent worn enamel, chipped teeth, tooth sensitivity, and damage to dental restorations.
For patients with TMD symptoms or TMJ discomfort, a nightguard may help reduce strain on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. While a nightguard does not cure every TMJ-related condition, it can be an important part of managing symptoms and protecting the teeth from excessive force.
TMD vs. TMJ: What’s the Difference?
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. TMD refers to temporomandibular disorders, which are problems affecting the jaw joint, jaw muscles, or bite function. Many people say “TMJ” when they are describing symptoms of TMD.
Common Misconceptions
What Patients Should Know About Nightguards
“Nightguards are only for people with TMJ.”
Not true. Nightguards can benefit anyone who grinds or clenches their teeth, even if they do not have jaw pain or a TMD diagnosis.
“A store-bought guard is the same thing.”
Over-the-counter guards may not fit properly and can feel bulky. A custom nightguard is made to fit your bite more comfortably and evenly.
“Nightguards stop grinding completely.”
A nightguard may not stop the habit itself, but it helps protect your teeth and can reduce the stress placed on your jaw muscles and joints.
“Jaw pain always means I need a nightguard.”
Jaw pain can have different causes. Our dentists will assess your bite, teeth, symptoms, and jaw function before recommending the right treatment.
