Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep

A night guard can help protect your teeth from grinding or clenching while you sleep. It creates a protective layer between your upper and lower teeth.

At True Roots Dental, Dr. Ali looks for signs such as worn enamel, jaw tension, tooth sensitivity, and morning discomfort. From there, our team can help you understand whether a custom night guard may support your oral health.

What Is a Night Guard?

A night guard is a custom oral appliance worn while you sleep. It is designed to fit your mouth more closely than a store-bought option.

The goal is to reduce the impact of grinding and clenching on your teeth, jaw joints, and surrounding muscles.

Benefits of a Night Guard

  • Helps protect teeth from wear caused by grinding or clenching
  • Can reduce pressure on the jaw during sleep
  • Provides a custom fit that is designed for comfort and stability
  • Supports long-term oral health by helping prevent cracks, chips, and enamel wear

Signs You May Be Grinding or Clenching

You may not know you grind your teeth because it often happens during sleep. Common signs include flattened tooth edges, morning jaw soreness, headaches, tooth sensitivity, or a partner noticing grinding sounds.

Dr. Ali can assess your teeth and bite for signs of pressure. If a night guard is appropriate, we’ll walk you through how it works and what to expect.

Custom Fit Matters

A custom night guard is made to fit your mouth. That fit can make it more comfortable to wear consistently, which is important because protection only helps when the appliance is actually used.

True Roots Dental serves patients from Stony Plain, Spruce Grove, Parkland County, and nearby communities. If you wake up with jaw tension or notice tooth wear, we can help you look at your options.

FAQs About Night Guards

You may need a night guard if you grind, clench, have tooth wear, jaw soreness, morning headaches, or repeated chips. Dr. Ali will assess your teeth and bite before recommending one.

A custom night guard is designed for your mouth, which can improve fit, comfort, and stability. Store-bought options may feel bulky or uneven for some patients.

A night guard can last for years, but its lifespan depends on how heavily you grind, how well you care for it, and whether your bite changes over time.

Most patients wear a night guard every night if grinding or clenching is ongoing. Our team will give you instructions based on your needs and the appliance design.
