Benefits of Wearing a Night Guard
A custom night guard forms a protective layer between your upper and lower teeth. This prevents teeth grinding and clenching, which can damage the enamel over time. By preventing bruxism symptoms, we’re also able to improve your quality of sleep. That way, you feel more well rested upon waking in the morning.
