Find Out How Custom Mouthguards Protect Your Smile
Do your teeth grind together or scrape against each other while you sleep? This nighttime habit, which many people don’t even realize they have, can slowly damage your smile and leave your jaw feeling stiff, tired, and achy. The good news is, a night guard offers a simple fix. Your custom mouthpiece creates a soft, protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth all night long.
A personalized night guard can:
- Shield tooth surfaces from scraping and wearing down
- Guard against cracked, chipped, or broken teeth
- Take stress and tension off your jaw muscles
- Cut down on morning headaches and facial soreness
- Keep crowns, fillings, and other dental work safe
Thanks to 3-D printing, getting an occlusal guard is faster and easier than ever before. There are no gooey trays to bite into. Instead, a tiny digital camera captures a detailed picture of your mouth in just a few minutes. Special software then shapes a guard made just for you, and the printer builds it with amazing accuracy. The result is a snug, comfortable fit that you’ll barely notice while you sleep.
