Night guards

Do you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth? You may be suffering from bruxism—the unconscious grinding or clenching of teeth during sleep. At Stamford Green Dental, we provide custom-made night guards to protect your teeth and relieve discomfort, ensuring a healthier, more comfortable smile.


What Is a Night Guard?

A night guard is a thin, custom-fitted dental appliance worn while sleeping to prevent teeth from grinding and clenching. It creates a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing stress on the jaw and preventing damage to your enamel.


Signs You May Need a Night Guard

If you experience any of the following symptoms, a night guard may be the solution:

Jaw pain or tightness (TMJ discomfort)
Frequent morning headaches
Worn-down, chipped, or cracked teeth
Tooth sensitivity from enamel erosion
Clicking or popping in the jaw joint
Interrupted sleep due to jaw discomfort
