Bruxism is the term used for teeth grinding and clenching at night. To protect your teeth and ensure better oral health and sleep at night, The Center For Cosmetic Dentistry makes night guards at our West Harrison, NY office to be used for treatment. Similar to Invisalign aligners, night guards for bruxism are made by taking a digital scan that is used to create an impression. This impression will allow our dentists to digitally design a mouth guard, which is 3-D printed using an acrylic material right here in our office.
Wearing custom-designed mouth guards from The Center For Cosmetic Dentistry will help patients reduce bruxism, which can have a number of benefits for their teeth. Most importantly, reducing bruxism can help reduce headaches and facial pain as that result from grinding the teeth and overusing the muscles of the face and jaw.
If you need help with bruxism, contact The Center For Cosmetic Dentistry to learn more about the treatment options we offer. We’d be happy to schedule an appointment with you for treatment.
