Custom Night Guards for Bruxism<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Bruxism is the involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth, often occurring during sleep. Over time, this pressure can lead to significant dental issues. Statistics show that over<\/span> 30%<\/span><\/a> of British people show minor signs of tooth damage due to this problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our custom-made night guards (occlusal splints) act as a protective barrier to:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n

Reduce Tooth Wear<\/h4>

Prevent excessive wear of your teeth's protective enamel layer and prevent the biting surfaces from becoming flattened.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Protect Restorations<\/h4>

Safeguarding crowns, bridges, and even <\/span>partial dentures<\/b> from the heavy forces of nocturnal grinding.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Alleviate Discomfort<\/h4>

Mouthguards help to reduce jaw tension and muscle fatigue associated with clenching.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Sports Mouthguards for Impact Protection<\/h2>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For patients participating in contact sports such as rugby, hockey, or martial arts a store-bought \"boil-and-bite\" guard often lacks the necessary precision. A custom-fabricated sports guard from our Ipswich practice provides:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Superior Impact Absorption:<\/b> Expertly contoured to your unique dental arch to dissipate excessive pressure generated on the teeth due to bruxism.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Accurate Fit & Comfort:<\/b> Ensuring the guard stays securely in place, allowing for easier breathing and speech during activity.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Total Protection:<\/b> Covering natural teeth and surrounding soft tissues to minimise the risk of tooth loss or lacerations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    <\/h2>\n

    The Importance of a Professional Fit<\/h2>\n

    Unlike generic over-the-counter options, our mouthguards are created using high-quality dental impressions of your mouth. This ensures:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Uniform Thickness:<\/b> Providing consistent protection across all vulnerable areas.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Stability:<\/b> The appliance will not slip or become dislodged during sleep or high-intensity sport.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Longevity:<\/b> Made from durable, medical-grade materials designed for long-term use.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
