At Shifa Al Raha, we understand that your oral health doesn’t stop when you go to bed. If you grind your teeth at night or suffer from jaw pain, a night guard splint can provide the protection and relief you need to maintain a healthy smile.
A night guard splint is a custom-made dental appliance designed to protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching during sleep. Made from durable materials, it forms a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing damage from excessive pressure and reducing discomfort.
Why Do You Need a Night Guard Splint?
Prevents Tooth Wear and Tear: Teeth grinding can cause significant wear, chipping, and cracking. A night guard splint helps preserve the integrity of your teeth
Alleviates Jaw Pain: Clenching and grinding can lead to jaw muscle pain, tension, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. A night guard reduces these symptoms, providing comfort.
Reduces Headaches: Bruxism is often associated with tension headaches, especially in the morning. A night guard can help relieve this pain.
Protects Dental Work: If you have fillings, crowns, or veneers, a night guard can prevent them from being damaged by grinding.
Improves Sleep Quality: By reducing the discomfort caused by teeth grinding and jaw clenching, a night guard can help you sleep more soundly.
