Night guards have long been prescribed by dentists to reduce the negative effects of sleep bruxism. These guards are made from a soft but durable plastic that offers a cushion between your upper and lower teeth. This prevents enamel damage and lessens the general discomfort that comes from grinding throughout the night.

What is sleep bruxism? It’s a fancy term for grinding your teeth at night while you sleep. Dentists reported an increase in cases during the worst of the COVID pandemic, and studies have connected teeth grinding to stress. Persistent teeth grinding can cause wearing of the enamel on your teeth, exposing deeper layers and causing dental issues and increased sensitivity. You may also suffer from otherwise unexplained headaches, jaw and face pain or general sleep disruption. Some night guards come with an extra tray for teeth whitening. This can be an added benefit if you’re planning to whiten your teeth already.Some night guards feature a one-size-fits-all construction that allows you to skip the customization process. You might find, though, that you don’t get quite the same experience as you would with a customized mouth guard. It might be worth a try to see if it works.

Stress can hit you in a variety of ways, some of which you might not even realize. Perhaps the biggest effects come when you climb beneath the covers, preparing for a full night of sleep. But insomnia isn’t the only negative by-product of all that stress you’re suffering. Many consumers don’t even know until a dental visit that they’re experiencing a condition called sleep bruxism. But these protective devices aren’t just useful for teeth grinding. Some can even help reduce snoring, since they widen your airway, reducing the vibration that occurs while you sleep. While this is no substitute for a sleep study to determine the root cause of your snoring, it can be an added bonus if you already suffer from sleep bruxism.Grind No More: Featuring patented clench and grind absorbing bite plates to stop you from grinding your teeth during the night and to increase peaceful sleep
