Night and Mouth Guards for Clenching & Grinding
Alleviate jaw pain as well as muscle pain and stop wearing down your teeth from clenching and grinding with one of our custom made mouth or night guards.
Many people suffer from clenching and grinding problems because their teeth do not align correctly. This poses a serious threat to not only the teeth and jaw, but puts unnecessary stress on muscles in the head, neck, face, and back. When these muscles are put under stress they can cause migraines, headaches, neck pain, and facial asymmetry. We’ll help reduce clenching and grinding with a custom made mouthguard.
Key Benefits:
- Migraine and headache relief
- Aid in relieving neck and back pain
- Relieve jaw and facial pain
- Can be a medication free alternative to pain relief
- Less pressure on your teeth

About Custom Nightguards in South Holland
A custom nightguard offers an effective solution for protecting your teeth from the damaging effects of teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching while you sleep. Our practice provides high-quality, custom-fitted nightguards tailored to your specific needs, ensuring optimal comfort and protection.
What is a Custom Nightguard?
A custom nightguard is a dental device designed to be worn over your teeth while you sleep to prevent grinding and clenching. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom nightguards are made from precise impressions of your teeth, providing a perfect fit that ensures maximum effectiveness and comfort.
Benefits of Custom Nightguards
- Protects Teeth from Damage: Custom nightguards prevent enamel wear, tooth fractures, and other damage caused by grinding and clenching.
- Reduces Jaw Pain: Wearing a nightguard can alleviate the discomfort and pain associated with TMJ disorders and muscle tension.
- Improves Sleep Quality: By reducing the effects of bruxism, a custom nightguard can help you achieve a more restful sleep.
- Long-Lasting Durability: Custom nightguards are made from high-quality materials designed to withstand nightly use and last for several years.
- Comfortable Fit: Tailored specifically to your mouth, custom nightguards offer a comfortable and secure fit, ensuring you can sleep without discomfort.
How to Get a Custom Nightguard in South Holland
The process of getting a custom nightguard at our practice in South Holland is simple and efficient:
- Consultation and Examination: During your initial visit, we will evaluate your teeth and discuss your symptoms to determine if a custom nightguard is the right solution for you.
- Taking Impressions: We take precise impressions of your teeth to create a mold for your custom nightguard.
- Fabrication: Your custom nightguard is fabricated using high-quality materials based on the impressions of your teeth.
- Fitting and Adjustment: Once your nightguard is ready, you will return for a fitting. We will make any necessary adjustments to ensure a perfect fit.
Custom Nightguards vs. Over-the-Counter Options
Patients in South Holland often wonder about the differences between custom nightguards and over-the-counter nightguards. Here are some key advantages of choosing a custom nightguard:
- Custom Fit: Custom nightguards are specifically made to fit your teeth, providing superior comfort and effectiveness.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials, custom nightguards last longer and provide better protection than store-bought options.
- Personalized Care: With a custom nightguard, you receive personalized care and adjustments to ensure the best possible fit and function.
Dental Mouthguards for Sports
