Grinding/bruxism custom mouthguards are specialized dental devices designed to alleviate the adverse effects of teeth grinding and jaw clenching, also known as bruxism. Custom-made to fit your teeth precisely, these mouthguards act as a protective barrier, minimizing the wear and tear on your enamel while easing tension in the jaw muscles. They can be worn at night or during high stress, preventing tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches. Whether you experience mild discomfort or chronic grinding, these mouthguards offer a practical and effective solution for protecting oral health.
This treatment is ideal for individuals who experience frequent teeth grinding, jaw clenching, or related symptoms such as headaches or facial pain. Custom mouthguards provide noticeable relief within a few days to weeks of use, depending on the severity of your bruxism. Results last as long as patients wear their mouthguards consistently, with most patients enjoying lasting benefits as long as they continue wearing their mouthguards. If you’re ready to safeguard your smile and improve your quality of life, book an appointment with Foothill Smiles in Foothill Ranch today to explore your custom solution.
The process for obtaining grinding/bruxism custom mouthguards begins with a consultation at Foothill Smiles. During this appointment, your dentist will examine your symptoms and determine the condition of your teeth and jaw. Next, precise impressions of your teeth are taken to design a custom-fit mouthguard tailored to your unique dental structure. This ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Once your custom mouthguard is ready, you’ll return to the clinic for a fitting session. Any necessary adjustments will be made during this treatment to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. Your dentist will then provide instructions on wearing and caring for your mouthguard, helping you achieve the best results.
