A nightguard is a custom made dental device that's worn over the teeth while you sleep. Its main purpose is to protect your teeth and jaw from teeth clenching or grinding or TMJ disorders.

Benefits of wearing a nightguard include:

• Preventing teeth from grinding against each other, which can cause teeth to wear down, crack, chip, or fracture

• Reduces jaw tension and muscle pain

• Protects dental work like crowns or fillings

• Can help relieve headaches related to jaw clenching

If you are interested in a dental nightguard call us at (626) 449-1936 to schedule an appointment. Dr. Mary Senstad will evaluate your bite, jaw, and teeth to determine if a nightguard is recommended. Afterwards an intraoral scan will be obtained. Dr. Mary will then digitally design a custom made nightguard generally to be worn over your upper teeth which will be 3D printed using our in office Sprintray 3D printer.
