Night-guards are helpful for bruxism caused by sleep disorders, crooked, or missing teeth or stress. The bruxism appliance or occlusal guard is custom made from a soft material to fit your teeth. The night guard slips over the upper or lower teeth and prevents contact between them. It helps relieve some of the pressure of grinding or clenching, which can damage delicate jaw joints or fracture teeth.
Treatment for those with an abnormal bite may involve reducing the “high spots” on one or more teeth. For serious cases, we sometimes may suggest reshaping or reconstructing the biting surfaces with inlays or crowns.
