Night Guards
Dentist in Carol Stream
Teeth grinding during sleep, known as bruxism, can place excessive pressure on your teeth and jaw. If this occurs regularly, it may lead to wear, discomfort, and long-term damage.
A nightguard is a custom-made, removable appliance worn while you sleep. Similar to a sports mouth guard, it creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth to reduce the effects of grinding.
Drs. Lane and Lane will design your nightguard for a precise, comfortable fit. This added protection can help prevent enamel wear, gum irritation, and jaw pain while supporting better overall oral health.
During your visit, we may also recommend lifestyle adjustments, such as limiting caffeine, alcohol, and habits like chewing gum, to help reduce grinding. If you think you may be grinding your teeth at night, contact our office to schedule an evaluation.
