Night Guard – Istanbul | Teeth Grinding and Jaw Relaxation Solutions – DentMax Dental Clinic

What is a Night Guard?

A night guard is a custom-made oral appliance, typically made from hard or flexible materials, designed to protect the teeth from damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding) and clenching during sleep. It relaxes the jaw muscles, prevents enamel wear, and protects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from excessive pressure.

When is a Night Guard Used?

• In cases of teeth grinding and clenching during sleep

• For patients experiencing jaw pain, clicking, or locking sensations

• When waking up with facial or jaw muscle soreness

• When there are visible signs of enamel wear, cracks, or broken teeth

• Post-orthodontic treatment to protect the jaw muscles

What are the Benefits of Using a Night Guard?

• Prevents teeth wear, fractures, and enamel loss

• Protects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) from long-term damage
