Teeth grinding and clenching, known as bruxism, can cause significant damage over time. At High Street Dental, we provide custom nightguards and occlusal splints in Hingham, MA to protect your smile.
Bruxism often occurs during sleep and may go unnoticed. Symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, worn teeth, and increased sensitivity.
A custom nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. This prevents enamel wear and reduces stress on the jaw joints. Unlike over-the-counter guards, our custom appliances are precisely fitted for comfort and effectiveness. Occlusal splints may also help alleviate symptoms related to TMJ disorders by stabilizing the bite and reducing muscle strain. Wearing a nightguard can prevent costly restorative treatments in the future by protecting your teeth from damage.
If you wake up with jaw discomfort or suspect grinding, schedule an evaluation at High Street Dental.
