Custom Fitted Mouthguards at Polished Smiles

Night Grinding and Clenching

Some people grind or clench their teeth during sleep due to stress. It can also become a constant habit, which can be dangerous. If you are grinding your teeth long term, it can lead to serious damage for your teeth and jaw because it will eventually wear down the enamel of your teeth and cause tooth pain. On top of that, the amount of force used when you grind your teeth can lead to TMJ.

What Does A Night Guard Do?

A custom night guard can reposition the jaw and stop your teeth from grinding. The custom guard is made from a thinner, lighter material so they are comfortable and even allow you to talk easily while wearing it. Since everyone’s teeth are different, the guard is custom fit to your mouth and teeth. Our dentist will take an impression of your teeth and then use the impression to create a mold for the night guard. Wearing the custom guard as regularly as possible will lead to the best results and improve the overall health of your teeth!

Athletic Mouthguards at Polished Smiles

Athletic Mouth Guards

If you are playing sports that may result in a mouth injury, you should be wearing an athletic mouth guard. They protect your teeth from any impact that may happen during a game or event. While wearing any mouth guard is better than none, custom mouth guards are much more protective and will last longer than store bought guards. It is also cost effective to be proactive and invest in a mouth guard. If you do experience a mouth injury, it will end up costing more in the future than a mouth guard will now.
