Night Guards

Many people grind their teeth at night while sleeping, a condition known as bruxism. This can be caused by numerous factors including stress, caffeine and certain medications. Bruxism often results in tooth wear, fracture of teeth and fillings, and TMJ pain. If you suffer from this condition, Mt. Mitchell Dentistry can help you by fabricating a custom-fit nightguard! These appliances protect the teeth from damage, reduce joint pain and can help you achieve a peaceful night’s sleep.

Procedure

To make a custom fitted nightguard, the teeth must be copied. We are able to do this with our digital scanner which eliminates the mess and discomfort of traditional impressions and provides more accuracy. Using the scan, we can design and fabricate a guard that is 3D printed in office to provide an exact fit to your teeth.
