Nightguards
Many People Don’t Realize They Grind or Clench Their Teeth While They Sleep
This condition, known as bruxism, often goes unnoticed until signs like jaw discomfort, headaches, or worn-down teeth begin to appear.
Over time, ongoing grinding or clenching can place significant pressure on your teeth. This may lead to wear, fractures, sensitivity, damage to existing dental work, or in more advanced cases, contribute to tooth loss.
A nightguard is a simple and effective way to protect your teeth while you sleep. It creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the impact of grinding and helping to prevent long-term damage.
Custom Protection While You Sleep
At Roytec Dental Centre, nightguards are custom-made to fit your teeth comfortably and securely. Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom nightguard is designed specifically for your bite, which makes it more effective and easier to wear consistently.
It is typically worn on either the upper or lower teeth and works by preventing direct contact between the teeth during grinding or clenching.
Made from durable, comfortable material, your nightguard is designed to fit naturally so it doesn’t interfere with your sleep.

A Simple Solution
Because bruxism often happens unconsciously during sleep, a nightguard is one of the simplest ways to prevent damage without changing your daily routine.
If you’re noticing signs of grinding or have been told you clench your teeth, we can assess your bite and determine whether a nightguard is right for you. It’s a small step that can make a meaningful difference in protecting your smile over time.
