Benefits of Nightguards
Investing in a nightguard offers several benefits, including:
- Protection Against Damage: Nightguards provide a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and damage caused by grinding or clenching.
- Pain Relief: By reducing the pressure on your jaw joints and muscles, nightguards can alleviate discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
- Improved Sleep Quality: Nightguards help promote better sleep by reducing disruptive grinding or clenching behavior, allowing you to wake up feeling more rested and refreshed.
- Preservation of Dental Work: If you have dental restorations such as crowns or bridges, nightguards can help prolong their lifespan by minimizing the effects of nighttime grinding or clenching.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How do nightguards work?
Nightguards work by creating a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. This prevents the teeth from grinding against each other and reduces the pressure on your jaw muscles, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with bruxism and TMJ disorders.
Are nightguards comfortable to wear?
Yes, nightguards made at All Smiles Dentistry Miami are custom-fitted to your teeth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. They are designed to be worn during sleep without causing discomfort, allowing you to rest peacefully.
Do I need a nightguard if I don't have any symptoms of grinding or clenching?
Even if you don’t currently exhibit symptoms of grinding or clenching, a nightguard can be a preventive measure if Dr. Gonzalez detects signs of wear on your teeth or if you are at risk of developing these habits. Regular dental check-ups can help identify if a nightguard would be beneficial for you.
How long does it take to get a custom nightguard made?
The process of getting a custom nightguard typically involves two appointments. During the first visit, impressions of your teeth are taken. The nightguard is then fabricated in a dental lab, which usually takes about 1-2 weeks. During the second visit, the nightguard is fitted and adjusted as needed.
Can I wear my nightguard during the day?
While nightguards are primarily designed for use during sleep, they can also be worn during the day if you experience daytime grinding or clenching. Dr. Gonzalez can provide specific recommendations based on your individual needs.
