Do I Really Need a Night Guard?

By Dr. Joanne LeeEducational Insight

Waking up with a dull headache or stiff jaw is incredibly common for high-performing professionals. The culprit is often occurring while you sleep: bruxism (teeth grinding).

The Cost of Stress

The human jaw muscles are incredibly powerful. When dealing with unchecked stress during the sleep cycle, they can exert hundreds of pounds of pressure, micro-fracturing teeth and completely wearing down enamel prematurely.

"Your enamel doesn't grow back. A custom night guard is an insurance policy for your smile."

Custom Aesthetics vs Over-the-Counter

A boil-and-bite guard from the pharmacy is thick, sponge-like inside the mouth, and often actually encourages more grinding by giving the jaw something to chew on. Our custom guards are digitally mapped to be hyper-slim and rigid, instantly programming the jaw to rest.
