Nightguards, Bite Splints, & Occlusal Guards: Custom Made in Noblesville, IN

Have you ever woken up with a sore jaw or headache? Bruxism is a dental condition that involves grinding or clenching your teeth, often during sleep, but it can also be due to stress. Constant grinding can lead to a range of symptoms, including headaches, jaw pain, worn-down teeth, broken dental work, and even TMJ disorder. 

If you show signs of clenching and teeth grinding during your exam, our Noblesville dentists will recommend wearing an occlusal guard.

How an Occlusal Guard Can Help

An occlusal guard is a type of split or nightguard that is designed to protect your teeth from the effects of bruxism. It is typically made of a soft, flexible material custom-fitted to your exact bite. The guard is worn while you sleep, and it helps to cushion your teeth, preventing them from grinding against each other. 

By wearing an occlusal guard, you can help to alleviate the symptoms of bruxism and prevent long-term damage to your tooth enamel and dental work. This can include reducing the risk of tooth fractures, gum recession, and the likelihood of developing TMJ disorder.

Which Type of Nightguard is Best?

There are many different types of nightguards available on the market, but not all are created equal. Over the counter nightguards are widely available and can be purchased at many drug stores and online retailers. However, these nightguards are typically not custom-fitted to your teeth and can be uncomfortable to wear or wear out more quickly.

At Hamilton Town Dentistry, we recommend custom-made occlusal guards specifically designed for your mouth. These appliances are made from high-quality materials that are durable, comfortable, and designed to last. They are also custom fitted to your teeth, ensuring maximum protection and comfort.
