Do you catch yourself grinding your teeth at night—or even during the day? You’re not alone!

Custom night guards are a simple and effective way to protect your smile and avoid unnecessary discomfort.

What’s a Custom Night Guard?

A custom night guard is a dental device made just for you. Unlike store-bought guards, this one is crafted to fit your teeth perfectly. It acts as a protective shield, stopping your upper and lower teeth from grinding together. Because it’s tailored specifically for your mouth, it’s both comfortable and highly effective.

Why Custom Night Guards Are Worth It

  1. Stops Tooth Damage: Night guards prevent wear and tear on your enamel and help avoid chips, cracks, or other grinding-related damage.

  2. Eases Jaw Pain: By reducing pressure on your jaw, a night guard can soothe aches and prevent stiffness.

  3. Better Sleep for You (and Your Partner!): No more grinding noises disrupting your night! A night guard helps you both get a peaceful sleep.

  4. Perfect Fit, All Night Comfort: Custom guards are designed just for you—no more awkward, bulky mouthguards that don’t fit right.

  5. Built to Last: Made from durable materials, these guards hold up against nightly grinding, providing long-term protection
