Protect your teeth while you sleep with a custom-fit guard designed for comfort and durability.
CUSTOM OCCLUSAL GUARDS FOR TEETH GRINDING, CLENCHING, AND JAW TENSION.
Protect Your Teeth from Grinding and Clenching
Grinding or clenching your teeth can put serious pressure on your smile, often leading to worn enamel, tooth sensitivity, jaw soreness, headaches, cracked teeth, or damage to existing dental work. A custom occlusal guard creates a protective barrier between your teeth while you sleep, helping reduce the effects of nighttime grinding and clenching. At Mann Family Dental Care, we can evaluate your bite, discuss your symptoms, and create a guard designed to fit comfortably and protect your teeth long-term.
A Custom Guard for Grinding and Clenching
An occlusal guard, also called a night guard, helps protect your teeth from the pressure of grinding or clenching.
An occlusal guard is a custom-made dental appliance worn over your teeth, usually while you sleep. It creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth to help reduce wear, pressure, and damage caused by nighttime grinding or jaw clenching. Unlike a store-bought guard, a custom occlusal guard is designed to fit your bite comfortably and stay in place more securely. At Mann Family Dental Care, we can evaluate your symptoms and help determine whether an occlusal guard is a good option for protecting your smile.
Your Teeth May Be Working Overtime
Jaw soreness, headaches, and worn teeth can all be signs of grinding or clenching.
Many people grind or clench their teeth without realizing it, especially while sleeping or during stressful moments. Over time, this extra pressure can lead to morning headaches, jaw pain, tooth sensitivity, worn enamel, chipped teeth, tight facial muscles, or damage to crowns, fillings, and other dental work. At Mann Family Dental Care, we can look for signs of grinding, evaluate your bite, and help determine whether a custom occlusal guard could protect your smile.
Why Custom Fit Matters
A custom night guard is designed for your bite, your comfort, and better long-term protection.
Store-bought night guards may seem convenient, but they often feel bulky, fit loosely, or put uneven pressure on your teeth and jaw. A custom occlusal guard is made specifically for your mouth, helping it stay in place more comfortably while providing more reliable protection against grinding and clenching. At Mann Family Dental Care, we’ll create a guard designed around your bite so you can protect your teeth without fighting with a one-size-fits-all appliance.
Protect the Smile You Already Have
A custom occlusal guard can help reduce damage to natural teeth, crowns, fillings, veneers, bridges, and other dental work.
Grinding and clenching can put a surprising amount of pressure on your teeth — and over time, that pressure can wear down enamel, crack teeth, loosen restorations, or damage dental work you’ve already invested in. A custom occlusal guard helps create a protective barrier while you sleep, reducing the impact of grinding and clenching on your smile. At Mann Family Dental Care, we can recommend a guard designed to protect both your natural teeth and existing restorations.
A Simple Fit for Better Protection
Getting a custom occlusal guard starts with a quick evaluation and a comfortable fit designed around your bite.
Getting fitted for an occlusal guard is a straightforward process. Mann Family Dental Care will evaluate your teeth, bite, and signs of grinding or clenching, then take impressions or digital scans to create a guard made specifically for your mouth. Once your custom guard is ready, we’ll check the fit, make any needed adjustments, and show you how to wear and care for it so it can keep protecting your smile night after night.
