Questions:

Do You Grind Your Teeth at Night? (Bruxism)

Do you frequently wake up with headaches?

Do you find yourself clenching your teeth during the day?

Have you noticed chipped or cracked teeth?

If you answered yes, a custom dental night guard can protect your teeth from nighttime grinding, help alleviate TMJ headaches, and improve your sleep quality.

Occlusal Splint Therapy in Morton Grove

Nighttime grinding or clenching (bruxism) can occur during sleep or even during the day. Causes may include stress, bite misalignment, or habits such as gum chewing. At ProCare Family Dental, we create custom-made nightguards to protect against bruxism-related damage.

These custom appliances help position the jaw more effectively, reduce grinding frequency, and serve as a physical barrier to protect the teeth from chips, fractures, enamel wear, and TMJ discomfort.

If you suspect you grind your teeth, we’d be happy to help you understand how it may affect your oral health and how a custom night guard can help.

1. Night Guards
Designed for patients who clench or grind during sleep. These guards protect enamel, reduce jaw tension, and safeguard dental restorations.

2. Sports Guards
Built for athletes to protect against impacts, collisions, and trauma. They shield the teeth, lips, and gums during high-impact activities.
