Anyone who wakes up with jaw pain, has a partner who hears them grinding, or shows signs of flattened, worn tooth surfaces.
We start by crafting a custom-fit night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep. We may also explore stress management techniques or bite correction for long-term relief.
Teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) is a "silent" habit that can cause devastating damage to your smile, including cracked teeth, worn enamel, and severe jaw pain. At Advanced Dental Care, we provide comprehensive bruxism therapy to stop the grind and protect your investment in your oral health.
While store-bought mouth guards offer minimal protection, our custom-fitted night guards are crafted from precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect, comfortable fit that evenly distributes pressure. Beyond just protecting your teeth, our Toledo team works with you to identify the root causes of your grinding—such as stress or bite misalignment—providing a holistic approach to long-term relief.
1. Bite & Muscle Assessment
We thoroughly examine your teeth for signs of wear, evaluate your jaw muscles for tenderness, and discuss your symptoms, stress levels, and sleep habits.
2. Precise Digital Impressions
We take highly accurate digital scans or physical molds of your teeth to ensure your custom night guard will fit flawlessly and comfortably.
3. Custom Lab Fabrication
Your impressions are sent to our dental lab, where technicians craft a durable, medical-grade appliance tailored specifically to your unique bite.
4. Fitting & Comfort Adjustments
When your guard is ready, we seat it in your mouth and make any minor micro-adjustments to ensure it feels secure, comfortable, and allows you to breathe easily.
5. Long-Term Management & Care
We provide detailed instructions on how to clean your guard. We may also discuss stress management techniques or bite correction options to help address the root cause of your grinding over time.
Yes, stress is a major trigger. Relaxation techniques can help alongside physical protection.
Signs include flattened teeth, morning jaw soreness, and headaches. Your partner may also hear it.
