Even after a full night of sleep, if you still wake up with a headache or jaw pain, you may be grinding your teeth as you sleep. Teeth clenching or grinding can lead to several health problems and is more frequent than you might imagine. Fortunately, we can create a night guard that is precisely molded to your jaw to guard against bruxism.
The advantages of a night guard
Wearing a night guard while you sleep will stop you from grinding your teeth and all the other issues that might result from this:
Safeguards Your Teeth
Your teeth are protected from harm with a night guard. Teeth that are gritted or clenched may chip or shatter, and any existing fillings may be harmed. Night guard usage halts the harm.
Stops headaches
Because a portion of your head is under pressure all night, headaches are a common symptom of bruxism. These headaches can be avoided by sleeping with a personalized night guard.
Lowers Jaw Pain
If you wake up with a painful jaw, try sleeping with a mouth guard since grinding your teeth uses your jaw muscles, which may become very taxing after a while.

Stops snoring
Because clenching your teeth narrows the airway and can lead to snoring, it makes it difficult to breathe normally when you’re sleeping. In order to breathe properly and have a better night’s sleep, a night guard will keep your top and bottom jaw apart and your airway open.
Boosts the Quality of Sleep
It is safe to assume that you are not getting good sleep if you clench your jaw the entire night. You won’t be able to clench or grind your teeth if you wear a night guard, which will allow you to sleep more soundly.
