Get Custom-Made Night Guards in Massachusetts
A night guard can help protect your teeth from damage. Many people have issues with grinding their teeth while they are sleeping. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can cause a lot of wear and tear on your teeth and eventually cause cracks, chips, or other damage. Night guards help prevent this damage from happening. With three offices across Massachusetts in Newburyport, Peabody, and Winthrop, we can help you get custom-fitted night guards.
How Do Night Guards Work?
Night guards and mouth guards are custom-designed to fit the specific tooth alignment of a patient. They cover the teeth and prevent damage to them. While mouth guards are typically worn when playing sports, especially sports where there is a higher risk of collision, like boxing, football, or hockey, a night guard is worn purely to prevent grinding your teeth. Bruxism is linked to both cosmetic chips and cracks and damage to teeth that can require treatments like dental crowns to fix.
What Causes Bruxism
The causes of bruxism are actually not completely understood. While there are some catalysts, like stress/anxiety that can be linked to Bruxism, there are many other factors that could contribute to whether or not you grind your teeth. Unlike grinding your teeth when you are awake, bruxism happens when you aren’t conscious, so it is not something you can teach yourself to stop. Bruxism can cause the following issues:
Disrupted Sleep / Sleep Apnea
Bruxism can make it difficult to get a full night’s sleep. Patients who struggle with Bruxism will wake up in the middle of the night with headaches or pain around the jaw. In fact, this is often how many people find out they have a problem with bruxism. Teeth grinding can also affect your partner if they sleep in the same bed as you. Teeth grinding can cause noise similar to how snoring would, which can disrupt their sleeping patterns.
Dental Damage / Dental Crowns
Over time, grinding your teeth can cause the chewing surface of the teeth to literally crack under the pressure. When this happens, the damage can be cosmetic or potentially lead to significant problems. If the inner layers of the tooth are exposed, there is a much higher risk of infection. Patients will often need dental crowns to fix this problem. That said, patients who already have dental crowns can end up damaging them due to bruxism.
