Reduce Wear & Tear from Teeth Grinding with Mouth Guards in North Side, VA
Chronic bruxism affects approximately 10% of adults and children, causing dental problems, headaches, jaw pain, and sleep disturbances. At Best Smiles in North Side, VA, our dentists offer custom mouth guards to help alleviate the symptoms of teeth grinding and provide relief to those affected by this condition.
Signs of Bruxism
Many people are unaware of bruxism, also known as teeth grinding during sleep. Dentists can detect enamel damage during check-ups, and partners may hear the grinding at night. Symptoms like fatigue upon waking, jaw pain, tenderness, and recurring headaches suggest a consultation with a dentist for a mouthguard may be beneficial. Bruxism can be caused by factors such as stress, high caffeine intake, bite alignment, oral posture, or sleep apnea.

Fitting Your Night Guard
When a dentist determines that a mouth guard is necessary, they will craft a custom night guard by taking molds of your teeth and sending them to a dental laboratory. This personalized guard is tailored to fit your teeth precisely and align your jaw correctly during sleep. It provides better cushioning, remains securely in place, and is longer-lasting than over-the-counter options.
