What Are Night Guards?
Bruxism affects many men and women and describes the grinding and clenching of your teeth at night. Even though the most visible sign is wear on the surface of the teeth, nocturnal bruxism can also cause inflammation, headaches, tooth pain, and discomfort in your neck and jaw. To protect your mouth from the painful effects of teeth grinding, Dr. Palmer offers custom night guards that safeguard your teeth while you sleep. Custom night guards are created with high-quality materials to fit comfortably and help improve the quality of your sleep by eliminating jaw clenching and teeth grinding. If you would like to learn more about custom night guards at Palmer Dental Group of Houston, book a consultation at our Houston, TX practice.
How Do Night Guards Work?
Once Dr. Palmer has diagnosed you with bruxism, he will take oral impressions and digital x-rays of your mouth to help create your custom night guard. Our team will send your impressions to a dental lab where your night guard will be crafted from quality materials. After your night guard is complete and returned to us, you will come in to have it fitted. Dr. Palmer may make small adjustments so your night guard fits properly and comfortably. You will also be given instructions on properly caring for your night guard so it lasts a long time.
