Are you struggling with teeth grinding or clenching during sleep? Night guards, offered by Magnolia Family Dentistry in Midwest City, might be the solution you've been searching for. These custom-made oral appliances are designed to protect your teeth and jaw from the harmful effects of bruxism (teeth grinding) and other oral issues. They're made from durable, comfortable materials that fit perfectly over your upper or lower teeth, providing a barrier that prevents direct contact between your teeth during sleep. Combined with myofunctional therapy, night guards can significantly reduce the symptoms of bruxism and improve your oral health.

Why Should I Get Night Guards?

Teeth grinding and clenching can cause a variety of oral health issues, including tooth damage, jaw pain, and even temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ). Getting a night guard can help alleviate these symptoms and protect your oral health. Night guards are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, providing optimal comfort and protection. They're a simple, non-invasive solution for people who grind or clench their teeth at night. When used in conjunction with myofunctional therapy, night guards can help retrain the muscles in your mouth and face to function more effectively, further reducing the symptoms of bruxism.

The Benefits Of Night Guards in Midwest City

Protects Your Teeth

Night guards provide a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from grinding against each other while you sleep. This helps prevent tooth damage, including chips, cracks, and wear, which can result from unchecked bruxism. With a night guard, you can rest assured that your teeth are protected, even while you sleep.

Reduces Pain and Discomfort

If you're grinding your teeth at night, you might wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, or even earaches. Night guards can help alleviate these symptoms by reducing the strain on your jaw muscles and joints. They can also help alleviate the discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), a common issue among people who grind their teeth.

Improves Sleep Quality

Teeth grinding can significantly disrupt your sleep, leaving you feeling tired and groggy in the morning. By preventing grinding and clenching, night guards can help improve your sleep quality. Plus, they can also help reduce snoring, making it easier for both you and your partner to get a good night's sleep.

Our Midwest City Night Guard Treatment Process

Consultation and Examination

The first step in getting a night guard is a comprehensive dental examination. Dr. Leaha Nels will examine your teeth and jaw, discuss your symptoms, and determine whether a night guard is the right solution for you.

Taking Impressions

If a night guard is deemed suitable, the next step is to take an impression of your teeth. This impression will be used to create a night guard that fits your teeth perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.

Fitting and Adjustments

Once your night guard is ready, you'll return to our office for a fitting. Dr. Nels will ensure that the guard fits properly and make any necessary adjustments. She'll also provide instructions on how to care for your night guard and when to wear it.

How do I clean and care for my dental night guard?

To clean your dental night guard, rinse it with cool water after each use and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material. Store the night guard in its protective case when not in use. Regularly inspect it for any signs of wear or damage, and take it to your dentist for professional cleaning during your routine checkups.
