How do I know if I need a nightguard?                        

If you often wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or tooth sensitivity, it's likely that you’re grinding your teeth while you sleep. If so, it is important to get fitted for a bruxism nightguard to prevent further wear and tear on your smile.

Who is a candidate for a bruxism nightguard?

Most people who grind their teeth while sleeping can benefit from a nightguard, however, those with severe bruxism may require further treatments, such as bite splint therapy or orthodontics.

How should I care for a bruxism nightguard and how long do they typically last?

It is important to clean your nightguard regularly with mild soap and lukewarm water and to store it in a safe place. Most professional nightguards can last, on average, for six months to a year.
