The service and what the procedure entails
If you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, tooth pain, or any other symptoms associated with nighttime clenching or grinding, our team at the local dental office in Naperville can get you custom-fitted for a bite guard. A custom-fit bite guard is a dental appliance worn at night to protect the teeth and relax the jaw muscles while sleeping.
Types/choices of products used in the procedure
Store-bought bite guards: Store-bought bite guards cost less although they are not custom-fitted to your particular bite or needs. They are often too big and cause sleep interruptions.
Custom-fit bite guards: Our expert team at Living Well Dental Group will take professional models to make a custom-fit bite guard for you. The custom-fit bite guard is articulated to make sure that the jaw alignment is correct, which allows the jaw muscles to relax while sleeping and protects your teeth. The bite guard is made of durable plastic ensuring that it will last a long time.
Follow up
At Living Well Dental Group, we offer free examination and cleaning of all bite guards at routine cleanings. We will show you how to care for your custom-fit bite guard. With proper care, it can last for several years.
