Grinding and clenching, often overnight and without you realizing it, wear down teeth and strain the jaw joint over time. A custom-fitted bite guard, built from a mold of your own teeth rather than a generic shape, protects against that wear while you sleep.
Book a Consultation
If you're waking up with jaw soreness or a partner has mentioned hearing you grind at night, it's worth asking about at your next visit.
You may be a good candidate if any of the following sound familiar. A consultation will confirm what's right for your specific case.
Before recommending bite guards, we start with a full evaluation of your teeth and goals, so the plan fits your case rather than a standard script.
Your plan accounts for your timeline, comfort, and priorities, and is walked through with you before any treatment begins.
We take the time to explain each step and answer questions as they come up, rather than rushing through the appointment.
Aftercare and follow-up are part of the plan from the start, not an afterthought once treatment is finished.
Waking up with jaw soreness, headaches, or a partner noticing you grind at night are common signs worth mentioning at your next visit.
Custom-molded guards are built from your own bite, so they fit far more comfortably than a generic store-bought option.
With proper care, a custom guard typically lasts several years before needing replacement.
A custom guard is molded to your exact bite, which tends to mean a better fit, more consistent protection, and more comfortable long-term wear.
They can help ease strain from clenching and grinding that contributes to jaw discomfort, though more involved TMJ issues may need additional evaluation.
