There are a wide variety of different types of mouthguards, ranging from pre-formed pieces to ones that are custom fitted to your teeth and jaws. Some can even be formed at home through a boil-and-bite process, though a custom-fitted guard from our office typically offers a more comfortable, precise fit and better long-term protection.
Left untreated, teeth grinding can lead to worn enamel, chipped teeth, and jaw discomfort, sometimes contributing to TMJ issues over time. If you wake up with jaw soreness, headaches, or notice flattened or chipped teeth, a night guard may help.
Call (321) 447-4444 to talk with our team about whether a custom night guard is right for you.
