Mouth Guards for Grinding Teeth and Sleep Apnea

Many people are afflicted with bruxism, or teeth grinding. Some people may do this consciously during the day, but it is a larger problem at night while you are asleep. Grinding your teeth can damage enamel, wear down teeth, cause jaw pain, or irritate your gums. The noise from teeth grinding can also disturb your spouse’s sleep if loud enough.

Night Guards

If you grind your teeth you should consider a night guard. The night guard, which is very similar to a mouth guard worn by athletes, provides a barrier between your top and bottom teeth while you sleep. All night guards are custom fitted for comfort and to allow for proper breathing. Your dentist will take an impression of your teeth and have the night guard created by a dental lab. Night guards are very durable and can be used for up to 10 years.

There are also some things that you can do to try to stop teeth grinding. You can train your jaw to be free and easy rather than clenched. Refrain from chewing gum or on other objects like pens. You should also avoid alcoholic drinks and drinks with caffeine, as these can increase the likelihood you will grind your teeth. If you suspect you might be grinding your teeth at night set up an appointment with us today.

Protective Mouth Guards

Mouth guards are an essential piece of equipment in contact sports.  They should be worn by athletes of all ages who participate in sports such as:

  • Football
  • Hockey
  • Lacrosse
  • Wrestling
  • Basketball
  • Baseball/Softball
  • Soccer
  • … any sport where contact is a possibility.

Wearing a mouth guard helps prevent structural damage to your teeth and jaw and also helps prevent injuries such as lacerations to your cheeks, tongue, and lips.  Mouth guards have also been shown to help decrease the risk of concussions.

Mouth guards are available in most any sporting goods store, but you should be careful when purchasing a mouth guard.  Mouth guards like this do not offer the best level of protection.  They are also usually ill-fitting and uncomfortable.

For the highest level of comfort and protection, you should visit your dentist for a custom mouth guard fitting.  A custom mouth guard is created specifically for the optimal protection of YOUR mouth.  It is created with thin plastic that is hardened to protect your teeth.  The thinness of the custom mouth guard allows for easy breathing and also allows for easy communication (especially important for you star quarterbacks calling out the signals).

Do you suspect you may be grinding your teeth at night? Do you need a protective mouth guard for yourself or your child? Contact Maiden Lane Dental. We can make a custom mouth guard to protect your teeth and ensure that you maintain the highest level of performance during the course of your day or if an athlete on the field, court, or rink.

I’ve been coming here for about 10 years now and the professionalism, service, and knowledge are all top notch. Any time I have had to have any procedure outside of a cleaning it has always been clearly explained both verbally and visually which is something I truly appreciate

Doctor Becker and his office staff are true professionals. They’re located in the Financial District of NYC, and I was introduced to them when I worked in the area. Very thorough, and gives great service. I relocated out of town for four years, and returned as a patient of their office once I began working in NYC again. One of the reasons I’m happy to be back in NY.
