What Are Night Guards?

Night guards are custom oral appliances worn during sleep to reduce damage from teeth grinding and clenching. Fabricated from precise dental impressions, they provide better fit and durability than over-the-counter options. Night guards help distribute bite pressure and protect enamel. The fitting visit typically takes 20 to 30 minutes, followed by a short delivery appointment.

Conditions We Treat

Night guards are commonly recommended for patients showing signs of excessive grinding or jaw tension during sleep. Early protection helps reduce long-term wear.

Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

Repetitive grinding can flatten enamel and create sensitivity. A properly fitted night guard helps cushion biting forces during sleep.

Jaw Muscle Tension

Morning jaw soreness or tightness may indicate nighttime clenching. Protective appliances help reduce strain on the jaw joints.

Unexplained Tooth Wear

Follow-up checks help confirm the guard continues performing properly.

Cosmetic gum contouring

Common Questions About Your Care

Patients considering night guards often want to understand fit, durability, and how the appliance fits into their daily routine. These answers address common concerns before getting started.
How do I know if I need a night guard?
Common signs include waking with jaw tightness, noticing flattened teeth edges, or hearing from a partner that you grind during sleep. A dental evaluation can confirm bite wear patterns and help determine if a custom night guard would be beneficial for protecting your teeth overnight.
With proper care, many professionally made night guards last several years. Longevity depends on grinding intensity and cleaning habits. Regular dental checkups allow the appliance to be evaluated for wear and adjusted if needed to maintain proper protection and comfort.
Custom night guards are designed to fit closely to your bite, which helps reduce bulk compared with over-the-counter options. Most patients adjust within a short period of consistent use and find the appliance becomes part of their normal nighttime routine.
Night guards should be rinsed after each use and cleaned gently with a non-abrasive cleanser. Storing the appliance in a ventilated case helps keep it dry and hygienic. Your dental team will provide specific care instructions based on the material used.
Patients in Jacksonville can schedule a consultation with Digital Aesthetic Dentistry. The team will evaluate your bite and guide you through the custom fitting process.
