Common Questions About Night Guards
Can I buy a night guard at the drugstore?
Store-bought guards offer limited protection and often fit poorly. A custom-made guard is more comfortable and far more effective.
Will a night guard fix my TMJ issues?
A night guard can help reduce stress on the jaw joint. For severe TMJ cases, we may recommend additional therapies.
How long do night guards last?
Most custom night guards last 3–5 years with proper care, but heavy grinders may need more frequent replacements.
Is wearing a night guard uncomfortable?
A properly fitted guard feels natural after just a few nights. Our slim designs make it easy to adapt.
Do I need to wear it every night?
Yes! Consistent use is the best way to protect your teeth and jaw.
