Night Guards
Night guards are custom-made dental appliances designed to protect your teeth and jaw while you sleep. They help reduce the effects of clenching and grinding (bruxism), relieve muscle strain, and support jaw comfort.
At The Stockyards Dental, night guards are recommended as part of a conservative, patient-centred approach to protecting your oral health.
Who Can Benefit from a Night Guard?
A night guard may be helpful if you:
- Clench or grind your teeth at night
- Wake up with jaw soreness or headaches
- Experience tooth wear or sensitivity
- Have jaw or muscle tension related to stress
- Have been diagnosed with TMJ/TMD and need jaw support
A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach
Night guards are one helpful tool, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Jaw discomfort and TMJ/TMD are often influenced by multiple factors, which is why we carefully assess each patient before recommending treatment.
In some cases, night guards are used alongside other supportive therapies to help reduce strain and protect long-term jaw health.
