  2. WHAT WHAT ARE NIGHTGUARDS? ARE NIGHTGUARDS? Nightguards, also called dental night guards or occlusal splints, are protective dental appliances. They are designed to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding or clenching during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. These guards are usually made of durable plastic and are custom-fitted to the individual's teeth. Wearing a nightguard can help safeguard teeth and alleviate associated discomfort.

  3. HOW ARE NIGHTGUARDS MADE? Nightguards are usually made of plastic; they are designed to be worn over the upper or lower teeth, most commonly over the upper teeth. A model of your mouth will be needed, as these guards are custom designed for you in a dental lab. Models will be made in the office with ourdentists in Ventura. They are made in a way that allows you to breathe easily and speak normally. They are designed to be comfortable on the teeth. Water may be imbibed while wearing them, but you should avoid sugary foods and drinks to keep the guards clean and prevent bacteria buildup on the teeth during sleep.

  4. HOW NIGHTGUARDS WORK Nightguards, also known as dental night guards or occlusal splints, are dental devices designed to protect the teeth and jaws from the damaging effects of teeth grinding and clenching, a condition known as bruxism. They work by creating a cushioning barrier between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing the forces generated during grinding or clenching. This helps prevent tooth wear and damage while also reducing strain on the jaw muscles and joints, providing relief from bruxism-related discomfort.

  5. THE BENEFITS OF A NIGHTGUARD Teeth Grinding Protection: Nightguards shield your teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism, a condition where you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth at night. This helps prevent tooth wear, chipping, and fractures. Enamel Preservation: By providing a barrier between your upper and lower teeth, nightguards safeguard your enamel from erosion caused by grinding or clenching.

  6. THE BENEFITS OF A NIGHTGUARD Pain Reduction: Nightguards can alleviate jaw pain, headaches, and facial discomfort associated with bruxism by cushioning the impact and promoting proper jaw alignment. Better Sleep: With reduced discomfort and noise associated with teeth grinding, nightguards can lead to a more restful night's sleep for both you and your sleep partner. Preservation of Dental Work: If you have dental restorations like crowns or bridges, nightguards help protect these investments from the damaging effects of bruxism.
