If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom night guard can provide the protection your smile needs. We offer professionally made night guards in Macomb, Michigan, designed to prevent damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding) and reduce the symptoms of jaw tension and discomfort. These custom oral appliances are comfortable, durable and made to fit your bite precisely.
Nighttime grinding is common and often occurs without patients realizing it. Over time, it can lead to worn teeth, headaches, jaw pain and even damage to dental restorations. A night guard provides a simple, noninvasive solution to prevent further harm and improve your quality of sleep.
