Grinding, whether it occurs during moments of stress or at night, can have detrimental effects on your teeth, leading to wear, sensitivity, and fractures. Additionally, it has the potential to harm your jaw joint and muscles, contributing to neck pain and headaches. Often, patients remain unaware of their grinding habits until we reveal the evidence through photographs or a mirror. Fortunately, a simple bruxing appliance (night guard), worn to protect the teeth, joints, and muscles—typically during the night—can halt further damage and, in some cases, break the habit. Embracing this preventive measure not only ensures a better night’s sleep for you and your partner but also translates to potential savings on future dental bills.
