Occlusal Guard/Night Guard in Lincoln, MA
Clenching and grinding your teeth at night and other times of the day can damage not only your teeth, but your facial muscles, jaw muscles, and jaw joints as well.
Facial and jaw muscles can strain and spasm, causing a disharmony and change in position of the jaw joint position.
We often recommend occlusal guards to protect patients who clench or grind their teeth. These custom-designed appliances are made of durable plastic and therapeutically help realign jaw joints that have gone off position and no longer function harmoniously.
If you clench or grind your teeth, are experiencing a changing or have an inconsistent bite, or are experiencing any concerns about your mouth, teeth, or jaw, please call us today. We may be able to help you determine if occlusal guards are right for you.
