Wake up without the aches

Lots of us grind or clench our teeth at night without ever realising it. The first clues are often a sore jaw in the morning, headaches that come and go, or teeth that look a little flatter and more worn than they used to. Stress, busy lives and even the way our teeth meet can all play a part. The good news is that a simple night guard can make a world of difference.

A night guard is a slim, comfortable cover that sits over your teeth while you sleep. It gently cushions the pressure of clenching and stops the upper and lower teeth from grinding against each other. Over time, that constant grinding can wear teeth down, crack fillings and leave your jaw muscles tired and tender. A well-fitted guard takes the brunt of it, so your own teeth do not have to.

Signs you might benefit

• Waking up with a sore or tired jaw
• Frequent morning headaches or tension
• Teeth that look worn, flat or chipped
• A partner who notices grinding at night
• Sensitivity that has crept in over time

Comfort you will actually sleep in

We know a night guard is only useful if you can wear it comfortably all night. That is why we take care to make yours slim, smooth and tailored to your bite, so it never feels bulky or awkward. Most people are surprised by how quickly they get used to it, and many tell us they sleep better knowing their teeth and jaw are finally getting a proper rest.

Caring for older smiles

Years of wear can leave teeth more vulnerable, so protecting them becomes even more worthwhile as we get older. Many of our long-standing patients find a night guard eases the jaw aches that crept in over the decades and helps preserve the dental work they have invested in. It is a small, gentle step that looks after a lifetime of smiles.

You do not have to put up with morning headaches and a tired jaw. Book a friendly chat with us, and we will check what is going on and craft a night guard that lets you rest easy. Better sleep and healthier teeth could be one comfortable appointment away.
