Bruxism in Albury
Clenching or Grinding While You Sleep? We Can Help.
Waking up with a sore jaw, sensitive teeth, or dull headaches? You might be grinding or clenching your teeth at night – a condition called bruxism. It often happens without you even knowing, especially during sleep. Over time, it may lead to worn enamel, cracked fillings, and long-term tension in your jaw and neck.
At The Tooth Affair, we offer custom night guards designed to cushion your teeth while you sleep. They’re slim, comfortable, and easy to wear, so you can protect your smile while giving your jaw a break.
How These Special Guards Work
A night guard acts like a barrier between your upper and lower teeth. It helps reduce the pressure from clenching and prevents the surfaces from grinding against each other. The result? Less wear and tear, less strain on your jaw muscles, and fewer painful mornings.
These aren’t one-size-fits-all guards from the chemist. Each one is custom-made to fit your mouth snugly and comfortably, so it stays in place overnight without feeling bulky or awkward.
Signs You Might Need a Bit of Help
Bruxism doesn’t always make noise, but your body leaves clues. Some common signs include:
- Jaw soreness or tightness in the morning
- Flattened, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Sensitivity to cold or pressure
- Aching around the ears or temples
- Trouble sleeping due to jaw tension
Even if your symptoms come and go, it’s worth getting checked. Early intervention can help you avoid costly dental repairs down the track.
Quick, Comfortable, and Worth It
We’ll start by taking an impression of your teeth. Your appliance will then be made to fit your bite precisely. Once it’s ready, we’ll check the fit and show you how to wear and clean it properly. Most patients adjust quickly and find relief within days.
