CUSTOM NIGHTGUARDS IN TRACY, CA.


At New Smile Orthodontics, we care deeply about your dental health and well-being. That's why our services include therapy options beyond braces to better enhance your oral function and everyday quality of life. Dr. Nelson Hu may recommend custom nightguards (also called bite splints or bruxism mouthguards) to help protect your teeth and TMJ from the damaging effects of teeth grinding.

Nightguards for Grinding Teeth: Preserving Your Dental Health

Nightguards are custom-made dental appliances designed to prevent the harmful consequences of bruxism - a condition where you unconsciously clench or grind your teeth during sleep. Bruxism is a common problem that affects many people, often leading to worn-down teeth, broken orthodontic appliances, TMJ/jaw pain, headaches, and other side effects.


Sleeping in a nightguard helps reduce TMJ tension and tooth wear. With a personalized fit, each nightguard is custom molded to your unique anatomy, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness. We use 3D digital scans to create a virtual impression, ensuring an excellent fit and a comfortable preparation process. 


Investing in a nightguard can help lower your risk of dental damage and expensive treatments in the future.

NIGHT GUARD FAQs

  • Who needs a nightguard?

    People who grind and/or clench their teeth at night are likely to benefit from wearing a nightguard. Those suffering from headaches, painful jaw joints (TMJ), or damaged teeth due to grinding may also need a nightguard.

  • How do I know if I need one?

    The best way to determine if you need a nightguard is by visiting your dentist for an examination. They can assess your symptoms and determine whether or not you should use a nightguard.

  • How long will I have to wear it for?

    This varies depending on individual needs; however, most people will need to wear their nightguards for life once prescribed by their dentists.
