What Are Night Guards?
The grinding of your teeth at night, also known as bruxism, is a common problem that affects many men and women. While the most prominent indicator is deterioration of the surface of the teeth, nocturnal bruxism might also lead to inflammation, headaches, and tooth pain, plus discomfort in your jaw and neck. To protect your mouth against the effects of bruxism, Dr. Sean Melton offers customized night guards that help defend your teeth while you sleep. Custom night guards are created with top-quality materials to fit comfortably in your mouth and help improve the nature of your sleep by reducing jaw clenching and teeth grinding. To learn more about custom night guards at Melton Dental, set up a consultation at our Helena, MT facility.
How Do Night Guards Work?
After Dr. Melton makes your bruxism diagnosis, he will obtain impressions and digital x-rays of your mouth so your custom night guard can be created. Next, he will send your information to a dental laboratory where your night guard will be created from the best materials. When your night guard is sent back to our office, you will return to our office for a fitting. Dr. Melton might make minor adjustments so your night guard fits comfortably. Dr. Melton will also give specific instructions on how to properly care for your night guard so it will last many years.
