Nightguards in Lafayette, IN
Many people grind their teeth while they sleep. It is very common for a person to not even realize that they are grinding. If you ever notice soreness, tightness, or tiredness in your jaw muscles or TMJ in the morning it is likely that you are.
Teeth grinding can cause wear, cracking, and breakage of the teeth and restorations that are placed on them. Protecting your teeth with custom fitted nightguard is the best way to prevent these issues. When making a nightguard we use our intraoral scanner to acquire records and digital models of your teeth. Then our laboratory uses these models and their digital technology to create an appliance with precise fit and comfort.
