What Are Nightguards?
Cranford Dentist
Nightguards are custom-designed dental appliances crafted to protect your teeth from the harmful effects of bruxism, a condition that causes people to grind or clench their teeth while sleeping. Bruxism can lead to enamel erosion, fractures, and other dental issues due to the repetitive pressure placed on your teeth. Nightguards act as a barrier, preventing these damages by creating a cushion between your upper and lower teeth.
At Cranford Smiles, we use precise impressions or advanced digital scans to create a nightguard tailored to the unique shape of your mouth, ensuring a fit that provides both comfort and protection. In addition to safeguarding your teeth, nightguards help relieve jaw tension, minimizing the discomfort that comes with bruxism, such as headaches, facial pain, and jaw stiffness. Regular use of a nightguard promotes better oral health, helps prevent long-term damage, and contributes to more restful sleep, so you can wake up feeling refreshed and
pain-free.

By providing a buffer for your teeth and jaw, nightguards help relieve muscle strain and discomfort caused by bruxism, allowing your jaw to relax and enhancing your comfort throughout the day.
