Night Guards
What Is a Night Guard?
/
A night guard, or mouth guard, is an oral device designed to protect against teeth grinding as you sleep. We make each night guard using scans of your mouth, allowing for the most precise fit and optimal protection.
Am I a Good Candidate for a Night Guard?
/
If you struggle with teeth grinding as you sleep, then you're likely a good candidate for a mouth guard. Even if you have been grinding your teeth at night for years, it's never too late for a guard. If you only struggle with bruxism during the day, you can try to manage it by reducing stress levels and massaging your jaw muscles.
Which Symptoms Can a Mouth Guard Prevent?
You may not realize that you have a teeth grinding problem or that you need a guard because you're asleep when bruxism presents. However, if you clench your teeth at night, you may notice daytime symptoms like:
- Jaw Pain
- Jaw Tightness
- Headaches
- Jaw Shape Changes
- Ringing in the Ears
- Neck Pain
Instead of living with pain, explore solutions at our dental office in Scottsdale, AZ. Our dentist will be happy to create a tailor-made guard for your routine clenching and grinding at night.

If you grind or clench your teeth in your sleep, you may eventually experience:
With constant pressure bearing down on your teeth at night, your enamel may start to wear away. Over time, this can worsen into more severe dental problems.
Our teeth are strong, but without a guard, they can only handle so much. You can prevent tooth breakage by trusting our dentist for custom treatment.
Bruxism can cause breakage, infection, or even loose teeth, and these concerns can eventually lead to missing teeth. Prevent this dental concern with prompt treatment.
Mouth Guards Are an Investment in Your Oral Health
Dr. Sielicki has seen many patients with tooth damage that could have been prevented. By protecting your teeth now, you can avoid extensive dental problems that may need a more expensive fix. For instance, grinding your teeth at night can result in missing teeth that require costly dental implants and restorations.
Guards are an investment in your quality of life, preventing recurring discomfort and giving you peace of mind.
