Mission TripsNightguards
Nightguards play a crucial role in protecting the teeth and jaw against the damaging effects of bruxism, also known as teeth grinding and clenching. Bruxism is a common condition that affects many people, often without them even realizing it. It can occur during the day or night, but nighttime bruxism is particularly problematic as it can lead to sleep disturbances and other sleep disorders.
Understanding the Need for Nightguards
Nightguards provide a simple yet effective solution to protect your teeth and alleviate negative effects, ensuring a good night’s sleep and better oral health.
How Nightguards Prevent Dental Damage
Nightguards, also known as mouth guards, are specifically designed to prevent dental damage caused by bruxism by cushioning your teeth and preventing grinding.
Custom-made nightguards offer a better fit and protection compared to generic, over-the-counter mouthguards. A custom nightguard is based on a mold of the individual’s mouth, ensuring a perfect fit. This allows the nightguard to more effectively absorb and distribute the forces created by teeth grinding and clenching, reducing the impact on the teeth and jaw. The nightguard acts as a protective shield, absorbing the brunt of the grinding forces, and thus, safeguarding the teeth from damage.
The Consequences of Teeth Grinding and Clenching
Teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, can lead to various consequences including
Jaw pain
Facial pain
Tooth wear
TMJ disorders
Damaged dental restorations

The Process of Creating Your Perfect Nightguard
At Aesthetic Oral Health, Dr. T follows a meticulous process to create the perfect custom nightguard for each patient. It begins with an initial consultation, where Dr. T will assess the individual’s dental health and discuss their specific concerns regarding bruxism. Dental impressions are then taken to capture the precise measurements of the patient’s teeth and jaw. These impressions serve as the basis for crafting the custom nightguard.
Throughout the process, our focus is on delivering high-quality dental work that meets the unique needs and preferences of each patient.
Initial Consultation and Dental Impression
The first step in creating a custom nightguard is the initial consultation with Dr. T at Aesthetic Oral Health. During this consultation, Dr. T will discuss the patient’s concerns and symptoms related to bruxism. He will also evaluate your dental health and determine the best course of action.
If a custom nightguard is recommended, dental impressions will be taken. These impressions capture the precise measurements and shape of your teeth and jaw. The dental impressions ensure a perfect fit that conforms to your individual mouth structure.
Crafting Your Custom Nightguard
After the dental impressions have been taken, the process of crafting the custom nightguard begins. State-of-the-art techniques and technology are used to create a nightguard that is both durable and precisely fitted. Meticulous attention to detail is paid during the crafting process, ensuring the final appliance is of the highest quality.
