Custom-made Nightguard
Cure damaging night time teeth grinding (bruxism) now with a custom-made nightguard from Smile Direct (UK) Ltd.
Teeth grinding can occur for a number of reasons, for example if you are feeling stressed or it can occur in an unconscious effort to cure an uneven bite. Only the lower jaw can move and cause the grinding action, this is due to it being hinged to the upper jaw, therefore you need only wear one tray on your lower teeth.
Smile Direct use pro form ethylene vinyl ascetate material to make custom mouth guards, this material is of a very fine, yet durable construction making it comfortable for prolonged periods of wear including overnight use. Our customers find they are tolerated exceptionally well during sleep. All materials carry a lot number and the CE mark.
We advise that the night guard should be worn for at least 8 hours a day for a week prior to wearing it at night to ensure it will be tolerated during sleep.
Symptoms of teeth grinding:
· Recurrent, unexplained headaches, especially in the temples
· Head, neck or shoulder pain
· Sensitive teeth
· Breakage/chipping of teeth or fillings, especially larger fillings
· Sculpting or ridging of the tongue/inside of cheeks
· Tightness in jaw muscles
· Gum recession
· Clicking of jaw
· Wearing down of teeth surfaces, especially obvious in front teeth
People who are very heavy tooth grinders, and are known to 'smash' their teeth together, may need to consider a hard night guard.
