Who Makes a Good Candidate for a Mouthguard/Nightguard?
There are many different types of people with various needs that may make for a good tooth guard candidate. Consider contacting your orthodontist for a consultation if:
You Grind Your Teeth
If you find yourself grinding your teeth, especially at night, you are a prime candidate for a nightguard. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can lead to a host of dental problems including worn enamel, increased tooth sensitivity, and even cracked or chipped teeth. There are various causes for bruxism, including stress and misaligned teeth, which can be simultaneously addressed for maximum impact.
A custom-fitted nightguard can protect your teeth from the damaging effects of grinding, preserving your dental health and preventing pain and discomfort associated with bruxism.
You Play Contact Sports
Athletes who participate in contact sports such as football, hockey, or basketball should strongly consider wearing a mouthguard. These sports often involve physical collisions that can result in significant dental injuries, including knocked-out teeth, fractured jaws, and lacerated lips. A well-fitted mouthguard acts as a cushion, absorbing impacts and reducing the risk of severe dental trauma. By wearing a mouthguard, you can enjoy your sport with the confidence that your smile is protected.
You Snore
Snoring can be more than just a nighttime nuisance; it can be a sign of underlying issues such as sleep apnea. Individuals who snore may benefit from a specialized nightguard designed to keep the airway open during sleep. These nightguards, often referred to as mandibular advancement devices, reposition the lower jaw and tongue to help maintain an open airway, reducing snoring and improving sleep quality. If you or a family member struggles with snoring, a nightguard could be the start of a solution for a better night’s sleep.
