NIGHT GUARD

At Reliance Dental, the dentists suggests a night (occlusal) guard  for any of the following:

CLENCHING AND GRINDING (BRUXISM)

A mouth guard can help alleviate the symptoms by offering a slick barrier between the upper and lower teeth, such that they slide against each other instead of applying pressure and grinding down.

TMD 

TMD are disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. A night guard, in this situation, alleviates pressure on the TMJ and helps to reduce strain.

SPORTS GUARD

A sports guard  is a protective device that covers the teeth and gums to prevent and/or reduce injury. Today, dental professionals recommend guards as a solution to many problems in addition to their preventive use for athletes.

AESTHETIC ENHANCEMENT & PROTECTION

A night guard may also be recommended to provide extra protection for certain delicate tooth restorations (temporary crowns, veneers, etc.).

SNORE GUARD

A snore guard can help a patients with snoring problems. Snoring occurs when a person’s airway becomes obstructed during a state of deep sleep. The mouth and throat tissue collapse inward and block the lung’s ability to take in oxygen. The soft palate and uvula vibrate as air passes back and forth in the throat’s constricted airway, causing the sound we call snoring. Snoring can be eliminated with lifestyle changes and a snore guard worn at night to keep the airways clear while a person sleeps.
