Waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth? You may be grinding your teeth at night. Our custom fit dental night guards are designed to protect your smile, reduce discomfort, and help you sleep more comfortably.

What are night guards?

Night guards (also known as night teeth guards or dental guards) are custom-made dental appliances worn while you sleep to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching. If you suffer from teeth grinding (bruxism), a custom fit night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, helping to prevent enamel wear, chipping, and long-term damage.

At Get It Straight Orthodontics, our custom night guards are designed specifically for your bite, making them more comfortable and effective than over-the-counter options. As well as protecting your teeth, dental night guards can also help reduce symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and tension caused by night-time grinding.

Who needs a night guard?

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a custom night guard can help protect your teeth and relieve pressure on your jaw. Teeth grinding (often linked to stress or anxiety) is very common, and many people don’t realise they’re doing it until symptoms start to appear.

You may benefit from a night guard for teeth grinding if you regularly experience jaw pain, morning headaches, tooth sensitivity, or notice signs of wear on your teeth. Dental night guards can also help if you have symptoms linked to TMJ, such as clicking or popping in the jaw, tension, or difficulty opening your mouth comfortably, by reducing strain and supporting a more stable bite.
