Teeth Grinding & Night Guard

A large number of people who clench also tend to grind their teeth. Grinding is when you slide your teeth over each other in a back and forth, sideways movement. Often the grinding is a subconscious behavior that is not realized by the bruxer. 

Stress reduction and anxiety management are methods used to treat bruxism and reduce the symptoms, but a DENTAL NIGHT GUARD is the most commonly used treatment method. A night guard is a horseshoe-shaped, retainer-like, plastic appliance with shallow borders that can be worn on either the top or the bottom arch.
