The patient needs to make a night bite, or the so-called night guard, when he clenchs a lot on his teeth, especially during sleep. The habit of grinding on the teeth is devastating and causes tooth erosion, severe pain in the jaw joint and severe complications. The patient responds to the night bite to protect the teeth and treat him with this devastating habit.
Night guard is a removable dental appliance carefully molded to fit the upper or lower arches of teeth.
When you clench your jaw, the night guard helps to lighten the tension and give cushion to the muscles in the jaw. This cushioning not only helps to prevent face and jaw pain but also protects the enamel of your teeth.
