Night Guards in Orléans
WHY A NIGHT GUARD CAN HELP
Grinding or clenching teeth — often without realizing it — can wear enamel, crack fillings, and leave the jaw sore. For many people, it happens at night. A night guard acts as a protective barrier, absorbing pressure so teeth and joints don’t take the full force.
CUSTOM VS. STORE-BOUGHT
Over-the-counter guards are bulky and often uncomfortable, which means they don’t get worn consistently. A custom-made guard is thinner, shaped to your bite, and easier to sleep with. The difference in comfort is usually what makes patients stick with it.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Making a night guard starts with impressions or scans of your teeth. The lab fabricates the appliance to fit closely, and you’ll return for a quick fitting to make sure it feels right. Most patients adapt quickly, and any minor adjustments can be done chairside.
