Nightguards
When a Nightguard May Also Be Recommended
While athletic mouthguards are designed for sports protection, nightguards serve a different purpose. Nightguards are worn during sleep and are recommended for patients who grind or clench their teeth, a condition that can place excessive pressure on teeth and the jaw.
Dr. Hoover and Dr. Yanda may recommend a nightguard for patients who experience symptoms such as jaw soreness, headaches, worn teeth, or TMJ discomfort. Nightguards help protect teeth from damage caused by grinding and support jaw comfort overnight.
It is important to note that a nightguard does not replace an athletic mouthguard. Patients who participate in sports and also grind their teeth may benefit from having both appliances, each designed specifically for its intended use.
