Nightgaurds
Do you grind your teeth? Do you have unexplained headaches or even migraines? Can you see that your teeth are wearing and chipping? Perhaps you clench or grind your teeth at night.
Statistics show that over 40% of Americans clench or grind at night. This bruxing causes premature wear of your teeth, chips or fractures to your teeth, and even gum recession. In some cases, it can cause breakdown of the Temporal-Mandibular Joint (TMJ).
Our team at Willow Street Dental has been trained to recognize the signs and symptoms of clenching and grinding. If we notice these symptoms we may recommend a night guard for you.
Each night guard is custom made using impressions of your teeth. These guards are much smaller in size than those that can be purchased over the counter. The result is a better fitting appliance and a reduction in TMJ pain, headaches, and tooth wear.
