Night guards are custom-fitted dental devices designed to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching, often referred to as bruxism, which typically occurs during sleep. At Kyle Orthodontics, Dr. Tessler offers expertly crafted night guards that are comfortable and tailored to fit your unique dental structure. These guards act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and tear, reducing the risk of fractures, and alleviating jaw discomfort.
If you frequently wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, or notice wear on your teeth, a night guard could be the solution you need. Bruxism can lead to serious dental issues such as tooth sensitivity, enamel loss, and even tooth fractures. Night guards help distribute the pressure of grinding, reducing stress on your teeth and jaw. This not only prevents further damage but also alleviates symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). By choosing a night guard, you're investing in your long-term oral health and overall well-being, ensuring your teeth remain strong and healthy for years to come.

Night guards act as a cushion, preventing your teeth from grinding against each other, which minimizes wear and tear. This protection is crucial to maintaining the integrity of your teeth over time.
By alleviating the pressure caused by clenching, night guards can significantly reduce jaw pain and morning headaches. This relief allows for a more comfortable day and a better quality of life.
With a night guard, you can enjoy a more restful sleep. By reducing the discomfort associated with bruxism, you can wake up feeling refreshed and rejuvenated, ready to tackle the day.

This patient's story is one of improved sleep and a radiant, full smile. Thanks to treatment with an expander and braces, not only did her breathing issues while sleeping improve, but her smile also blossomed to its fullest potential.
The first step in obtaining a night guard is a thorough consultation with Dr. Tessler at Kyle Orthodontics. During this visit, your dental history will be reviewed, and a comprehensive examination of your teeth and jaw will be conducted. This assessment helps determine the severity of your bruxism and the specific requirements for your custom night guard.
Once the assessment is complete, impressions of your teeth will be taken to create a custom-fitted night guard. This ensures that your guard is comfortable and effective, tailored specifically to your dental anatomy. The custom fitting process is crucial as it guarantees the guard will provide optimal protection and comfort.
After your night guard is ready, a follow-up appointment will be scheduled to ensure a perfect fit. During this visit, Dr. Tessler will check the guard's alignment and make any necessary adjustments. This step is essential to ensure that your night guard functions correctly and provides maximum benefit. Regular check-ups may be recommended to monitor its condition and adjust as needed.
You might need a night guard if you experience symptoms such as frequent headaches, jaw pain, worn or cracked teeth, or if your dentist observes signs of grinding during a routine checkup. Consult your dentist to determine if a night guard is suitable for you.
