Nightguard & Mouthguards Fort Worth

Why Mouthguards Are Important

Curious about why we recommend mouthguards? There are two key reasons. Firstly, they protect the teeth during sports by preventing chips, cracks, or even tooth loss from sudden impacts. Custom sports mouthguards offer superior comfort and protection compared to store-bought options. They’re an especially important investment for children, too! Secondly, mouthguards are also beneficial for those who grind their teeth at night, which may indicate jaw joint issues. A specialized mouthguard worn while sleeping can alleviate pressure on the teeth and jaw, preventing further damage.

One Easy Way to Safeguard Your Teeth

Looking after your teeth today can prevent more serious issues in the future. This is why we suggest mouthguards for many of our patients, particularly children and those who participate in sports or have taken up new activities involving physical contact.

Keep Your Smile Safe During the Night with a Personalized Nightguard

Our dental office offers professionally made nightguards that are comfortable, durable, and tailored to fit your smile perfectly. These custom nightguards are designed to prevent grinding or clenching by fitting over your upper teeth while you sleep.

Reasons You Might Need a Nightguard

Even if you are not aware of grinding, your dentist can often identify the signs during a routine checkup. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may find relief with a nightguard:

• Jaw pain or tightness upon waking
• Frequent headaches
• Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
• Tooth sensitivity
• Clicking or popping in your jaw
• Disrupted sleep or feeling tired upon waking

How Do Nightguards Prevent Teeth Grinding?

Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, often happens while you sleep, so many people don’t even realize they’re doing it. Over time, this grinding can wear down tooth enamel, cause chips or cracks, and put strain on the jaw.

A custom nightguard works by creating a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. This helps in several ways:

• Helps to absorb pressure caused by grinding and clenching
• Prevents teeth from making direct contact with each other
• Decreases the likelihood of damage to teeth, fillings, and crowns
• Relieves muscle tension in the jaw, potentially alleviating pain and headaches

Consistently wearing a nightguard can safeguard your teeth from potential long-term harm and improve your overall well-being by ensuring you wake up feeling rejuvenated and free from discomfort.

How Do I Get a Custom Nightguard?

Obtaining your nightguard is a simple process:

• Dental Exam: We assess your teeth and jaw to ensure a nightguard is suitable for you.
• Impressions: We take impressions or digital scans of your teeth to craft a personalized nightguard.
• Fitting: Once it's done, you'll come back to test the fit. We'll make any necessary adjustments.
• Wear Nightly: Use your nightguard every night as directed and maintain it by rinsing and storing it correctly.
