Night guards protect teeth from grinding (bruxism) during sleep, preventing enamel wear, fractures, and jaw pain. Custom-fitted options from dentists like Madan's Multispeciality Dental Care Centre in Delhi offer superior comfort and durability compared to over-the-counter versions. These guards create a barrier between upper and lower teeth, reducing pressure and promoting better sleep quality.
What is a Night Guard?
A night guard, also called an occlusal splint, fits over upper or lower teeth to cushion grinding forces. Bruxism affects millions, causing headaches, TMJ issues, and tooth damage without noticeable daytime symptoms. At Madan's, experts craft guards using precise impressions for a perfect fit.
Types of Night Guards
Soft Night Guards: Flexible and comfortable for mild grinding; ideal for beginners but wear out faster.
Hard Night Guards: Durable acrylic for severe bruxism; provides maximum protection but feels firmer.
Dual-Laminate (Bilaminar): Soft inner layer for comfort, hard outer shell for strength; best for moderate to heavy grinders.
Thermoplastic: Self-adjusting with warm water; convenient but less precise than custom versions.
Benefits for Teeth Grinding
Night guards preserve enamel, prevent cracks, and safeguard restorations like crowns or bridges. They alleviate jaw pain, reduce headaches, and protect dental investments long-term. Regular use improves sleep by minimizing disruptions from clenching.
