Nightguard and Mouthguard
Do you struggle with teeth grinding or clenching, especially at night or during work hours when you have stress? Do you find yourself waking up with a sore jaw and headaches? If yes, then it’s time to consider investing in a dental guard. So which guard is your requirement!! Let the best dentist at roots dental care help you with this.
There are two types of dental guards – night guards and mouth guards – each designed for different purposes.
NIGHTGUARD
Night guards are designed for people who grind or clench their teeth while sleeping. This condition can cause headaches, toothaches or even cracked teeth if left untreated. Night guards work by creating a cushiony barrier between the upper and lower teeth to prevent them from grinding against each other during sleep.
MOUTHGUARD
Whereas, mouthguards are typically used in sports to protect athletes’ teeth from injury caused by impact or collisions with other players. They come in different shapes and sizes depending on the type of sport played.
Both night guards and mouthguards are made of durable materials such as silicone or acrylic resin that fit precisely over your top row of teeth. Custom-made versions offer better comfort than store-bought ones because they’re tailored specifically to your unique mouth shape.
