Grinding your teeth is bad for so many reasons. It wears down your enamel, altering your bite and increasing sensitivity. The pressure and shifting of grinding can also cause teeth to crack, chip, fracture, or loosen. The negative impacts go beyond your teeth, as grinding can also cause headaches and jaw pain.
Night Guards Overview
When you grind your teeth, also called bruxism, it can cause severe damage to the enamel. Night guards protect your teeth, but also improve symptoms such as a sore jaw and headache caused by grinding.

Night guards provide relief for:
Bruxism
Teeth grinding
Jaw clenching
How Custom Night Guards Work
Night guards work to ease symptoms by providing a barrier between your upper and lower teeth. This buffer helps to cushion your teeth, prevent wear, and discourage clenching and grinding.

Custom night guards help relieve the symptoms of bruxism, but unfortunately do not always stop night grinding from happening. While they can protect you from damage, it’s important to find ways to relieve the root cause of teeth grinding in the first place.
