Bruxism
is the clenching together of both the upper and lower teeth. A large
number of people who clench also tend to grind their teeth. Grinding
is when you slide your teeth over each other in a back and forth,
sideways movement. Clenching can cause pressure on the muscles, tissues,
and other surrounding structures of the jaw, and can cause jaw joint
disorders, headaches, neck pain, jaw pain, ear pain, tense muscles,
and excessive wear on the teeth. Collectively, these symptoms are
referred to as "TMJ" problems (temporomandibular joint).
Bruxism can cause damage to the temporomandibular
joint (the hinge that connects the lower jaw to the upper jaw)
if not treated. Bruxism is a common problem, and a large number of
people are affected by it.
Often the grinding is a subconscious behavior that is not realized
by the bruxers. A partner or significant other is often the first
to hear the noise of the bruxer's teeth grinding at night. If not
treated, excessive grinding can wear down your teeth. The cause of
bruxism is not completely known, but many agree that stress and anxiety
play a major role.
What Is the Treatment?
Stress reduction and anxiety management are methods used to treat
bruxism and reduce the symptoms, but a dental night guard is the most
commonly used treatment method. A night guard is a horseshoe-shaped,
retainer-like, plastic appliance with shallow borders that can be
worn on either the top or the bottom arch. When properly made (one
of the supplier Precision Dental Works), it can help reduce clenching,
grinding, and TMJ problems by helping to relax the muscles in the
jaw.
Night Guards FAQs: Why might a night guard or other protective appliance be advisable?
If designed correctly, nighttime appliances help keep teeth from moving,
protect ceramic restorations, and protect teeth from wear damage caused
by grinding or clenching. A night guard is a plastic mouth guard worn
at night to prevent tooth grinding. A bite plate is a removable plastic
device that prevents teeth from coming together. In the case of an
overbite, a night guard might eventually improve the wearer's bite
- thus solving two problems. A method used to treat the damage caused
by more serious cases of grinding involves reshaping or reconstructing
the biting surfaces with crowns, inlays, or a full-mouth restoration.
Can I talk with this night guard in my mouth?
Absolutely! Custom night guards are not bulky, as may be made by your
dentist. They're custom-fitted to fit your individual mouth. Your
tongue is not restricted and moves around freely. Our night guards
are comfortable to wear while sleeping, plus you can wear them during
the day without any restrictions. You will be able to talk while wearing
your new custom-fitted night guard.
Is this a hard acrylic type night guard?
No. The thickness ranges from a thin, soft night guard measuring .040
to a thicker guard, measuring 0.150, for an adult. Our night guards
are soft and made from FDA-approved energy absorbing laminates. You'll
definitely notice the comfort level when you put your new custom night
guard in your mouth.
Is it really simple to take my own impressions at home?
Taking your own impression is not difficult providing your follow
our step-by-step instructions. A guide is sent by the manufacture
to walk you through the entire process.
How long does it take to get the night guards back?
After your impressions are received at workshop/office, it typically
takes 3-5 working days to custom-make the night guard. Then it is
mailed back to you.
What about adjustments?
Because these night guards are not the boil and bite mouthguards but
instead are custom made, there should be no need for adjustment.
What if they don't fit?
In the event that your night guard does not fit, an impression re-do
kit is sent for another impression to remake your night guard.
