Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a night guard?
Signs include waking up with jaw soreness, headaches, worn or chipped teeth, or a partner telling you that you grind your teeth at night. Dr. Lanzon can evaluate your bite at your next visit.
Will a night guard stop my jaw pain?
A custom night guard can aid in relieving discomfort associated with grinding and clenching. Results vary by patient, but many people notice significant improvement.
Is a custom night guard better than a store-bought one?
Yes. Custom guards are made from impressions of your teeth and fit precisely, making them more comfortable and effective than over-the-counter options.
