Night Guards

Do you grind your teeth at night?
Are you experiencing jaw pain, or headaches after you wake up?
Do you wake up with sore or tense jaw muscles?
Is your sleep being disrupted by discomfort or grinding noises?
This could be because of bruxism- commonly known as teeth grinding- is a problem where people involuntarily grind their teeth while sleeping. This causes jaw pain, muscle soreness, headaches, chipping of teeth, and most importantly a disturbed sleep.
Our experienced team is here to help you find relief and safeguard your dental health.

At ArtLife Dental Studio, the Best Dental clinic in Islamabad, we understand the importance of a good night’s sleep and the impact it has on your overall well-being. That’s why we proudly provide custom-made night mouth guards to protect your teeth and alleviate symptoms associated with bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching.

Custom-made night guards are recommended for the best fit, comfort, and results, although over-the-counter night guards are available in some places. Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth and have a night guard custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, providing better protection than a generic alternative and a comfort level that surpasses anything mass-produced.

The process of obtaining a custom night guard typically involves two dental visits. At the first appointment, your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. These impressions are sent to a dental lab, where the actual nightguard is made. When it is ready, usually within a week or two, you will return to the dentist’s office for fitting and possible adjustments.

Purpose Of Night Guards:

A night guard (also called an occlusal splint or bite guard) is an individualised dental appliance specially prepared to safeguard your teeth from the harmful effects of teeth grinding and clashing known as bruxism. Worn typically in bed at night, it protects against damage to your teeth, jaw joints, and surrounding tissue caused by grinding or clashing. 

Benefits Of Night Guards:

There are several benefits to wearing a nightguard, including protection against tooth wear and dental damage caused by grinding or clenching. It also provides relief for such symptoms as jaw pain, headaches, and tooth sensitivity. Wearing a nightguard can help you avoid future problems arising from bruxism, such as TMJ disorders or enamel erosion. It can improve sleep quality by eliminating nighttime teeth grinding and clenching.
