Mouthguards and Nightguards

A nightguard is a thin and transparent appliance you wear over the surface of your teeth to avoid grinding of the lower and upper jaw. While our dentists recommend nightguards for people with bruxism, people with TMJ symptoms can benefit from wearing these appliances.

In our experience, a nightguard offers impressive benefits to patients of all ages, including preventing or alleviating chronic headaches, protecting the dental structure, and avoiding wear and tear of the teeth, gums, and jaw.

If you suspect you have TMJ or bruxism, it is essential to visit one of our dentists at Aspendale Gardens Dental Care for a thorough evaluation. They will examine your teeth and jaw to determine the possibility and severity of your teeth grinding.

If we determine you have an issue and need a custom nightguard or mouthguard, we will take an impression of your upper and lower jaw. Then, our specialists will mould the guards, and after a few weeks, we’ll invite you to try the appliances and ensure they are a perfect fit.

Yes, our high-quality mouthguards can treat TMJ or temporomandibular joint disorder. People with this condition grind their teeth, and a device such as a mouthguard will prevent them from doing so.

If you experience chronic jaw ache and notice that pain extends to your face, don’t hesitate to contact our professional team for an assessment.
