What Is a Night Guard?

A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance worn while you sleep to prevent teeth grinding and jaw clenching. It acts as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping to minimize wear, reduce pressure on the jaw joint, and prevent long-term damage. Unlike store-bought options, our professionally made night guards are customized for comfort, durability, and effectiveness.
