Night guards/Mouth guards

Night guards are protective devices that limit overnight grinding and clenching and their associated consequences (such as excessive tooth wear, crown and bridge breakage, sore TMJ joints, headaches, and migraines). These protective devices cover the teeth to shield them against potential damage. Although not a cure for bruxism (a problem in which you unconsciously grind or clench your teeth), night guards help to alleviate the negative effects that can arise from chronic teeth grinding. Mouth or sports guards are vital in the protection of teeth during contact sports. Heights Dental Tampa can fabricate both night and mouth guards designed to fit your bite, for a more comfortable fit than store-bought appliances.
