A night guard is a custom dental appliance worn over the teeth to help protect them from grinding or clenching during sleep. It may reduce tooth wear, jaw discomfort, and pressure on existing restorations when used properly.
Patients with grinding-related damage may first need a general dental consultation in Mirpur. If teeth are already cracked or weakened, the dentist may also discuss dental crown in Mirpur, root canal treatment in Mirpur, or retainers in Mirpur depending on the condition.
Teeth grinding and clenching can cause enamel wear, tooth sensitivity, jaw soreness, headaches, cracked teeth, and pressure on crowns or fillings. A night guard helps create a protective layer between the teeth.
Patients may need a night guard if they wake up with jaw pain, notice worn tooth edges, have tooth sensitivity without obvious decay, hear grinding sounds during sleep, or have repeated damage to restorations.
The dentist checks the bite, tooth wear, jaw symptoms, and existing restorations. If a night guard is suitable, measurements are taken and the appliance is fitted with instructions for use and cleaning.
Sporsho Dental Care provides night guard consultation in Mirpur with attention to bite comfort, tooth protection, appliance fit, and clear guidance on daily use.
A night guard may not stop the habit itself, but it can help protect the teeth from grinding damage.
A custom guard is made to fit the patient’s teeth and is usually more comfortable and protective.
Replacement depends on wear, fit, comfort, and the dentist’s assessment during follow-up.
