Bruxism, or teeth grinding and clenching, affects a large portion of the U.S. population, leading to excessive tooth wear, jaw pain, and potential damage to dental restorations. At Venice Dental Associates, we offer custom occlusal bite guards designed to protect teeth, surrounding bone structures, and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Our bite guards are custom-fitted to ensure maximum comfort and protection. Unlike over-the-counter guards, which may feel bulky and ill-fitting, our professionally designed occlusal guards are made from high-quality materials that provide a snug yet comfortable fit. This ensures better compliance and long-term wearability.
In addition to preventing damage to teeth and dental restorations, bite guards also help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), reducing jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension. Many patients who suffer from chronic bruxism report significant relief after wearing a properly fitted guard.
By investing in a custom occlusal bite guard, patients can preserve their teeth, reduce discomfort, and improve overall oral health. We recommend these guards for anyone experiencing grinding or clenching, particularly at night, when symptoms often go unnoticed.
