Night Mouth Guard
Teaneck NJ & Roselle NJ


Night mouth guards are ideal for people who have bruxism. Bruxism is a condition where you grind or clench your teeth, especially at night when asleep. The state is painful and can damage your teeth. The primary cause of bruxism is stress.

If you suffer from bruxism, visit RJ Dental to acquire a custom-made night mouth night guard for you.

Benefits of Night Mouth Guards


It is good to note that a night mouth guard is different from a sports mouth guard. A sports mouth guard protects the gums and teeth from trauma, while a night mouth guard prevents your teeth from clenching and grinding together.

If you wear a sports mouth guard at night, it prevents the saliva from getting into the gums, trapping bacteria on the gums' surface. Saliva plays a crucial role in the mouth as it neutralizes all acids, which can cause dental caries. Plus, saliva prevents plaque formation since it cleans away the food particles. Most night mouth guards come with perforations to let saliva get into the teeth and gums.

A night mouth guard can prevent chronic headaches. Persistent headache is one of the common symptoms of bruxism. This is mainly due to tensed muscles in the jaw, mouth, neck, and shoulders. Wearing a custom-made night mouth guard will help you get rid of these chronic headaches since tensing will stop.

Types of Night Mouth Guards


Night mouth guards fall under three categories: hard night mouth guards, over-the-counter guards, and custom-made night mouth guards.

•  Hard night mouth guards are made from acrylic material, making them sturdy and long-lasting. They are used to treat extreme teeth clenching and grinding cases and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Hard night mouth guards prevent your teeth from shifting and allow the jaw muscles to relax.
•  Over-the-counter guards are pre-made and fit any mouth. These come in options such as boil-and-bite night mouth guards, which you can soften using hot water to form to your mouth. These types of night mouth guards should not be used for an extended period as they can shift your bite.
•  Custom-made night mouth guards are the best option as they provide a personalized solution. These guards are made from impressions of your teeth. Our dentist uses professional methods and materials to make a personalized night mouth guard for you. This makes your night mouth guard more comfortable and durable.

Factors to Consider When Selecting a Night Mouth Guard


A good night mouth guard should provide optimal protection against clenching and grinding. Comfort is the first factor to consider when choosing your night mouth guard. An uncomfortable night mouth guard will not benefit you as you will avoid wearing it. The condition of your teeth will help determine the best night mouth guard for you. A custom-fitted night mouth guard is the best since it is manufactured from taking an impression of your teeth.
