Night Guard
Shelburne, Dental

Do you grind or clench your teeth at night?

A night guard may help protect your teeth from damage. At Shelburne Downtown Dental, we custom-make comfortable night guards to help our patients enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Custom-Fit Comfort

Our night guards are custom-made just for you using a model of your teeth. This allows us to create a guard that fits your mouth precisely for maximum comfort and protection all night long. We start by taking an impression of your teeth and sending it to our dental lab technicians. They then craft a thin, strong acrylic guard that perfectly contours your unique dental anatomy.

When Do You Need a Night Guard?

There are a few common reasons why someone may need to wear a night guard:

New Patient Exam

Teeth Grinding/Clenching

Many people grind or clench their teeth while sleeping, which can lead to excessive wear over time. A night guard creates a protective barrier to prevent this damage.
Recall Exam

TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders involve pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint. A night guard can help realign the jaw and reduce clenching pressures that worsen TMJ symptoms.

Specific Exam

Orthodontic Treatment

Wearing braces or Invisalign aligners makes the teeth more vulnerable to damage from grinding. A night guard is recommended during orthodontic treatment.
Specific Exam

Snoring/Sleep Apnea

Grinding the teeth can narrow the airway and worsen snoring or sleep apnea. A custom night guard fits to hold the lower jaw slightly forward, improving breathing.

Better Support for a Good Night’s Sleep

With a proper custom-made guard, you’ll rest easier knowing your teeth and jaws are supported safely. Some key benefits of our night guards include:

● Thin and breathable material that’s comfortable to wear
● Smooth interior surfaces that won’t irritate your gums or cheeks
● Self-adjusting memory material moulds perfectly to your teeth over time
● Protective coverage tailored for maximum protection where needed

Once your guard is ready, we’ll schedule a quick fitting appointment to ensure the best fit. Our guards are durable but require careful cleaning. Be sure to bring your night guard with you to checkups so we can monitor its condition.
