Grinding during our sleep is a common issue, whether we realise it or not. However, when the grinding becomes excessive or forceful, this can cause impacting damage to your dental health.
Wearing a nightguard is the most effective way to protect your teeth. A nightguard is a mouth piece that is worn on the top teeth during your sleep to help with grinding and clenching. The guard acts as a shield between your top and bottom teeth, which prevents chipping and wearing of your teeth and strain to your jaw muscles.
At Adelaide Smile Centre, we can make custom-fitted nightguards. The benefits of a custom nightguard over an over-the-counter product is that it will have a more accurate fit, durable, won’t fall out and will last longer over the years. Our dental team will take an impression of your teeth and have it manufactured in a lab just for you.
Too see if a nightguard is appropriate for you, contact us at Adelaide Smile Centre and we’ll be happy to help you out.
