Mouthguard

A mouthguard will fit snugly on your teeth and supply the wearer with a layer of protection throughout the night.

As you know, a mouthguard for nighttime will be typically worn as you sleep. Besides this, there are several other advantages you can enjoy while you wear them.

When you are consulting with Cambridgeside Dental Associates, we will go into detail about each advantage listed below. That way you will know what to expect during the night while wearing the mouthguard.

Damage Protection


Teeth grinding is a condition that occurs unconsciously during the night. When you implement a mouthguard, you will be protecting your tooth enamel so that it does not get worn away.

When your tooth enamel is gone, you risk exposing nerves and blood vessels. When these get exposed, a huge amount of pain will be experienced.

A severe amount of damage may be caused by grinding and clenching. This is why your might mouthguard will help alleviate the involuntary action. Different issues may also pop up, which may involve tooth chips, filling damage, and loosening of the teeth. All of this damage can be averted with a mouthguard.

Other Dental Appliances Will Be Protected


Besides having protection from damage, your other dental appliances will be protected. These dental appliances include crowns, veneers, and bridges.

When you wear a mouthguard at night, your smile will be maintained for a longer amount of time. You will also not need to worry about increased maintenance of your appliances.

Bruxism Relief Is Provided


With bruxism affecting many individuals at night, it may seem like they all should be wearing a nighttime mouthguard. With a bad habit like this, nighttime sleep could easily lead to a painful morning.

When bruxism is severe, a misalignment of teeth could occur. This is due to the increased amount of pressure applied to the teeth, which could also lead to headaches in the mornings.

Your Loved One Will Sleep At Night


Wearing a mouthguard at night will maintain a nice position of your jaw and allow your mouth muscles to relax. This will ultimately lead to a better night's sleep for you and your loved one. Not only that, but their design is to maintain a parting of the teeth and jaw. This will also control snoring and enhance your breathing at night.
