Night Guard, Bruxism or Tooth Grinding Guards

Sometimes people can be grinding or clenching their teeth in their sleep without even being aware that they have these habits. This can create considerable damage to the teeth and the bone around the teeth and other supporting structures. In these cases, we recommend that a guard that just covers the tops of the teeth be fabricated and worn at night to prevent further tooth destruction. The human bite can produce 200 lbs of pressure so no wonder clenching and grinding can damage our teeth.
