Nightguards

Do you grind or clench your teeth?  Do you wake up with a dull headache or a sore jaw?

These symptoms may be caused by bruxism. Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching the teeth.  People who suffer from bruxism may also suffer from these symptoms:

  • Frequent toothaches
  • Loose teeth
  • Worn or cracked fillings
  • Earaches

To reduce the stress bruxism places on your teeth, Dr. Alder may recommend wearing a night guard when you sleep.  A night guard is a custom made appliance that is acryllic.  Then night guard will fit precisely over your upper or lower teeth and it will prevent your teeth from touching while you sleep.  The nightguard will protect your teeth from wear and fractures.
