Custom Night Guards in Milford, MI | Fortson Dentistry Milford

Signs You May Need a Night Guard

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can cause symptoms like jaw pain, morning headaches, sensitive or worn teeth, sore gums, and sleep disruptions from clenching during the night.

If you notice these signs, a custom night guard can provide relief. It protects your teeth, reduces pressure on your jaw, and promotes more restful, pain-free sleep.

Night guards are a simple, effective way to prevent long-term damage and preserve your oral health.

What Causes Teeth Grinding?

Grinding or clenching can be triggered by several factors, including:

Stress & Anxiety

High stress levels or anxiety often lead to unconscious clenching or grinding during sleep, making it one of the most common triggers of nighttime teeth grinding.

Sleep Disorders

Sleep issues such as sleep apnea or frequent disturbances can increase the risk of teeth grinding, especially during disrupted or restless sleep cycles.

Misaligned Teeth or Bite Issues

When teeth don't align properly, it can lead to uneven pressure during chewing or at rest, which may trigger grinding or clenching over time.

Missing or Crooked Teeth

Gaps or misaligned teeth can cause uneven pressure while biting or chewing, leading to increased strain and a higher chance of grinding or clenching.

Finding the root cause is key, but in the meantime, a custom night guard can protect your teeth and help relieve discomfort.
