Many people grind or clench their teeth at night without knowing it. Over time, that force can wear down enamel and flatten the chewing surfaces. The constant clenching can also leave the jaw muscles sore. A night guard is a custom tray that fits over the teeth during sleep. It cushions the teeth and spreads out the pressure of grinding. This helps protect the enamel from further wear. The result is less wear on the teeth and easier mornings. This video is for general education only. It is not medical or dental advice. Ask your dentist what's right for you.
