A night guard is a custom fitted dental appliance used to treat a habit called bruxism that consists in excessive grinding or clenching of the upper and lower teeth, causing wear of the teeth, making them look short.

1. Grinding your teeth causes damage to previously placed fillings, porcelain crowns and veneers and even your own teeth. By wearing a nightguard, this can  easily prevented
2. Alleviates jaws and muscles that become tense and painful as a result of clenching.

You can schedule your appointment with us at The Green Dental Studio, your dentist in Fort Lauderdale, to find out if a nightguard is the treatment you need.
