Understanding the Problem of Teeth Grinding
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, often happens unconsciously during sleep, but it can cause serious harm to your teeth, jaw, and gums over time. The pressure of grinding can lead to tooth wear, cracks, and jaw tension. If left untreated, it can also result in headaches, neck pain, and even long-term dental damage.
Dental nightguards are designed to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of bruxism, which is also known as teeth clenching and grinding. Our fully customized approach to dentistry enables Valley Smiles to stand out as one of the top dental practices in Phoenix, AZ.
How Nightguards Help Protect Your Smile?
Nightguards are soft, durable devices worn over your teeth while you sleep. Here’s how they can help:
Prevent Teeth Grinding
The nightguard acts as a barrier, absorbing pressure and reducing the risk of damage from grinding or clenching.
Reduce Jaw Pain
They help reduce tension in the jaw muscles, providing relief from bruxism-related pain or discomfort.
Protect Your Teeth
Helps prevent wear, cracks, and chips caused by grinding, helping maintain their strength and integrity.
Improve Sleep Quality
By reducing the discomfort of grinding, they can help you sleep more soundly through the night.
How Valley Smiles Customizes Nightguards for Your Needs?
Teeth grinding can cause severe, permanent damage. Some people do it when nervous or uncomfortable, but others do it unconsciously in their sleep. If you have bruxism, wearing a nightguard can protect your teeth. At Valley Smiles, we make custom nightguards using a 3D scanner to ensure a perfect fit and maximum protection.
Our dental team will guide you through the entire process, making sure you’re well-informed and comfortable with your treatment. Whether you’re new to nightguards or require a replacement, we’re here to assist.
