Night Guards in Markham, ON

Chances are when you go to sleep at night, you are not thinking much about your teeth and your bite. We tend to relax our bodies while unconscious and dreaming, but unfortunately, stress can rear its ugly head. Many people do their clenching or grinding, which can lead to serious dental problems and jaw disorders.

At 7 Days Dental, our team  focuses on delivering quality care—even while you are asleep. We can usually determine from the wear and tear on your teeth if you are prone to problematic dental habits after you doze off at night. Fortunately, our Markham dental office offers advice and treatment options to manage clenching or grinding.

Customized orthodontic appliances

Stress from the day and the issues bothering you, even in your subconscious mind, can result in clenching or grinding your teeth while sleeping. From a psychological standpoint, it may help to speak with a counsellor. But from a physical perspective, we recommend wearing a night guard regularly.  

This type of appliance works to protect your teeth when you sleep. Some stores may sell more inexpensive versions but are not as comfortable because they do not benefit from customization. At 7 Days Dental, we work to help you protect your teeth and can fit you for an effective appliance to continue protecting while you sleep.

Ensuring a proper fit

If you have jaw pain, toothaches or headaches, or you notice the enamel thinning on your teeth, you may be clenching or grinding without even realizing it. Our Markham dental team can fit you for a night guard in Unionville, ON, that is tailor-made to be as comfortable as possible. We take digital impressions of your mouth and design one especially for you.

Your laboratory-constructed appliance is designed with malleable plastic that moulds teeth and gums to help absorb the impact from clenching or grinding. Since it is a customized night guard in Unionville, ON, you will likely feel more effortless to wear than bulky standard-issue versions. We try to prepare patients; however, you may still need some time to adjust to the feeling of it.

Taking preventative measures

You may not look at night guards the same way as other dental treatments, but we recognize their value just the same. Preventative measures in our field can often save patients both time and dental fees in Ontario. Rather than bonding your teeth to help strengthen them after they have weakened or using orthodontics to help your misaligned bite, an appliance could keep these problems at bay.

At 7 Days Dental, we encourage all of our patients to care for their teeth and gums consistently. Brushing, flossing, and regular dental checkups are essential and protect them from such trauma as clenching or grinding. Using a night guard can help manage painful symptoms and possibly mitigate the need for other dental treatments down the road.
