Hard Night Guard

Fabricated from sturdy dental acrylic material through vacuum thermoforming techniques, the hard occlusal guard is individually customized from dental molds to fit either the upper or lower dental arch perfectly. Intended for patients suffering from severe teeth grinding and forceful jaw clenching, this device evenly distributes occlusal pressure to prevent tooth enamel loss and relieve tension in the temporomandibular joints. It delivers reliable shielding for dental restorations such as crowns, veneers and implants from cracks and breakage. While wearers may need a brief adjustment phase for its minor thickness, the guard can last as long as three years. Simple to maintain with a toothbrush and cold water, it is a long-lasting, non-surgical solution for persistent bruxism.

Hazards of Bruxism (Teeth Grinding at Night)

1. Direct Damage to Teeth

Irreversible abrasion of tooth enamel leads to thinner teeth and dentin hypersensitivity with sharp pain triggered by cold, hot, sour or sweet food. In severe cases, cusps get worn flat, dentin is exposed and wedge-shaped defects occur.

Teeth develop cracks or fractures. Fillings, ceramic crowns, all-ceramic veneers and dental implants may chip or break under excessive force, greatly shortening the service life of dental restorations.

Persistent occlusal trauma causes tooth loosening and alveolar bone resorption, triggering periodontal diseases.

2. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and Facial Muscle Disorders

Masseter and temporalis muscles stay overworked all night, resulting in sore and stiff cheeks in the morning and enlarged facial contours.

Temporomandibular joint dysfunction: clicking, locking and limited mouth opening with pain around the ears, which may progress to TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder).

Radiating pain spreads to the ears, temples and neck muscles.

3. Systemic and Cerebral Repercussions

Recurrent tension-type headaches upon waking, accompanied by dizziness, fatigue and poor concentration during the day.

Poor sleep quality dominated by light sleep, frequent dreams and easy awakening, leading to daytime drowsiness and exhaustion.

4. Other Consequences

Loud grinding noise disturbs the sleep of bed partners.

Abnormal long-term occlusion alters the bite relationship and aggravates dental malalignment.

Unconscious jaw clenching at night further increases intraoral pressure.

Brief Summary

Mild cases only cause tooth soreness and facial fatigue temporarily. Chronic bruxism causes irreversible tooth damage, failure of restorations, TMJ injuries and recurring headaches. A custom-made occlusal night guard is the safest and non-invasive intervention.
