Receive A Customized Nightguard From Your Dentists in Everett

If you’re waking up with a sore jaw and a headache that lingers, it may be time for you to call Everett Dental Wellness about a professional nightguard! Our custom-fit nightguard in Everett, MA provides effective relief and protects your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching.

While teeth grinding can happen during the day and night, it’s often emotions like stress, anxiety, frustration, anger, or even deep concentration that can trigger what’s know as “awake bruxism.” When it happens at night, it’s more likely to be caused by stress, an abnormal bite, misaligned or missing teeth, or sleep apnea.

How do I know if I’m grinding my teeth?

Many people aren’t aware they’re grinding their teeth until a loved one tells them, or they continually experience a dull headache or sore jaw when waking. If these symptoms sound familiar, we’d be happy to examine your mouth and jaw for symptoms during your next visit.

What can happen to my teeth and mouth if I continue to grind?

For some people, grinding can lead to the fracture or loss of teeth, or to one or more teeth being ground down significantly. The result of this type of damage can lead to the need for crowns, bridges, root canals, dentures, or dental implants. What’s more, it can affect your jaws, cause conditions known as TMJ/TMD, and alter your shape and appearance of your face.

How can a nightguard help?

A nightguard made by dental professionals and custom-fitted to your mouth will prevent grinding and help you sleep more soundly. After a mold is taken of your mouth, we’ll send it to a lab where a tailored nightguard will be made. Once complete and in our office, we’ll schedule an appointment for you to try the appliance and ensure that it’s comfortable. We’ll also walk you through care instructions to help keep your nightguard in great condition for years!
