Every Smile Deserves the Best
At Melbourne Street Dental Studio, we prioritize preserving your natural teeth and safeguarding your oral health. While advancements in dental technology continue to improve restorative treatments, nothing compares to the strength, function, and beauty of your own teeth. A custom mouthguard is an essential protective solution, offering robust defense against potential dental injuries caused by sports, accidents, and teeth grinding (bruxism).
Why Are Mouth guards Essential?
Preventing Dental Trauma
Dental injuries can lead to fractured, broken, or even lost teeth, often requiring extensive and costly restorative treatments. A custom-fitted mouthguard is a proactive and cost-effective way to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from unnecessary damage.
- Prevents chips, cracks, and fractures
- Shields soft tissues (lips, cheeks, and tongue) from lacerations
- Minimizes the impact of direct blows to the mouth and jaw
Absorbing Impact for Maximum Protection
A custom mouthguard acts as a shock absorber, effectively dispersing the force of an impact across your teeth and jaw. This protective layer reduces the risk of concussions, jaw fractures, and soft tissue injuries, making it ideal for:
- High-contact sports like rugby, boxing, football, and hockey
- Recreational activities with a risk of falls or collisions
- Individuals with braces who require extra protection
Night Guards for Bruxism – Protecting Your Teeth While You Sleep
Empowering Solutions for Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
Bruxism is a common dental condition where individuals unconsciously grind or clench their teeth, often during sleep. Left untreated, it can lead to:
- Tooth wear and enamel erosion
- Jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders
- Increased tooth sensitivity and fractures
Why Choose a Custom Night Guard?
Protective dental appliances such as night guards offer a highly effective way to manage bruxism. These specialized devices serve as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing excessive wear while minimizing stress on the jaw joints.
Types of Night Guards Available
- Soft Vacuum-Formed Mouth guards – An affordable and comfortable solution providing temporary relief and assisting in bruxism diagnosis.
- Occlusal Bite Splints – Custom-fitted for severe sleep bruxism, these splints allow for natural movement while preventing excessive tooth wear.
A Holistic Approach to Bruxism Management
Effectively addressing teeth grinding requires a comprehensive strategy that integrates:
- Custom night guards for physical protection
- Professional dental assessments and treatments
- Lifestyle adjustments, including stress management techniques
If you experience jaw discomfort, frequent headaches, or signs of teeth grinding, book a consultation at Melbourne Street Dental Studio to find the best bruxism management solution for you.
