Night Guards at Alamo Ranch Children's Dentistry & Braces

At Alamo Ranch Children’s Dentistry & Braces, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth and ensuring a good night’s sleep. Night guards are an essential solution for patients who grind their teeth or clench their jaws during sleep. Dr. Dakota Miller and our dedicated team provide customized night guards to help prevent dental damage and promote overall oral health.

What Are Night Guards?

Night guards, also known as nocturnal bite plates or occlusal guards, are custom-made dental appliances worn over your teeth while you sleep. They are designed to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of grinding (bruxism) and clenching, which can cause significant dental issues over time.

Benefits of Night Guards

Wearing a night guard can offer numerous benefits, including:

  • Prevention of Tooth Damage: Night guards protect teeth from the wear and tear caused by grinding and clenching.
  • Reduction of Jaw Pain: They help alleviate the discomfort associated with jaw clenching, reducing symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
  • Improved Sleep Quality: By minimizing discomfort and preventing tooth damage, night guards can contribute to a more restful night’s sleep.
  • Protection for Dental Work: Night guards protect expensive dental work, such as crowns and veneers, from damage due to grinding.
