Night Guards (Bruxism Therapy)

Clearwater Dreams Dental

Protect Your Smile While You Sleep

Do you wake up with a sore jaw, headaches, or sensitive teeth? You might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night, a condition known as Bruxism. Over time, this unconscious habit can wear down your enamel, crack your teeth, and damage your jaw joint (TMJ).

At Clearwater Dreams Dental, we create custom-fitted night guards that act as a protective barrier. Unlike store-bought options, our guards are precision-molded to your unique bite, offering superior comfort and protection against long-term damage.

Benefits & Features

Prevent Tooth Wear

A night guard absorbs the massive pressure of grinding, preventing your teeth from becoming flattened, chipped, or fractured.

TMJ Pain Relief

By cushioning the jaw, the guard reduces tension in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), alleviating chronic jaw pain and clicking.

Reduce Headaches

Many patients find that their chronic morning headaches and neck tension disappear once they start sleeping with a custom guard.

Custom-Fit Comfort

Unlike bulky “boil-and-bite” store guards, our professional guards are slim, stay in place, and don’t interfere with your breathing.

Protect Restorations

If you have veneers, crowns, or implants, a night guard is essential insurance to protect your investment from breaking under pressure.

Better Sleep Quality

By relaxing your jaw muscles and eliminating the sound of grinding, both you and your partner can enjoy a deeper, quieter sleep.

Everything You Need to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Why can't I just buy a guard at the pharmacy?

Over-the-counter guards are "one-size-fits-all." They are often bulky, uncomfortable, and can even shift your teeth or worsen TMJ pain if they don't fit perfectly.

Is it hard to sleep with a night guard?

Most patients adjust within a few nights. Because our custom guards are slim and fitted exactly to your teeth, they are very comfortable and unobtrusive.

How do I clean my night guard?

Simply brush it gently with your toothbrush (without toothpaste) and rinse with cool water every morning. You can also use a denture cleaner tablet once a week.

How long do they last?

Depending on the severity of your grinding, a high-quality custom night guard typically lasts between 2 to 5 years before needing replacement.
