Do you suffer from sore jaw, headache, or toothache upon waking up? These may be symptoms of bruxism, the nighttime grind of teeth, a condition. When left uncured, bruxism and tooth clenching lead to severe dental damage, including tooth abrasion, enamel damage, and jaw disorders. Fortunately, night guards are available to help prevent damage to your teeth and the associated deleterious effects, allowing your tooth to remain healthy.
If you're looking for the best night guard for grinding teeth, you've come to the right place.

Plus, we’ll highlight why ALIGNERCO’s custom-fit night guards are the ultimate choice for teeth grinders.
Why You Need a Night Guard
Tooth grinding isn't a minor inconvenience; it’s a health issue that can lead to serious complications. A night guard helps:
- Prevent tooth damage: Protects against enamel wear, chips, and cracks.
- Relieve jaw pain: Less strain put on the jaw musculature and articulations.
- Enhance sleep quality: Eliminates discomfort that could disrupt your rest.

If any of the following benefits speak to you, it is time to think about a custom-fit night guard that is specifically designed for you.

Waterproof and durable, which relies on high-grade materials, it is capable of withstanding even strong pressure over a long period of time and protects in the long term. These night guards are built so that they are very robust against impact forces and thus effective at protecting your teeth.
Hybrid Night Guards
Hybrid night guards made from polymers are pliable and appropriate for the treatment of mild to moderate tooth wear and suborthodontal problems. They provide the comfort of a padded interior with the strength of a hard exterior and are thus a favorite option of many users.

FAQs
1. How do I know if I need a night guard for teeth grinding?
If you suffer from jaw pain, headache, tooth sensitivity, or observe tooth wear in the morning you might be grinding your teeth. Bruxism can be identified by a dentist, but using a night guard can prevent damage and alleviate jaw pain.
2. Can night guards help with snoring or sleep apnea?
Certain night guards can subtly reposition the jaw to better aerate the throat which may, in turn, decrease snoring and some cases of mild sleep apnea. On the other hand, in cases of moderate to severe situations, a special oral appliance by a specialist or medical treatment is suggested.
3. How long does a custom night guard last?
Alignerco's custom night guards can last 1 to 5 years with careful use. Fit and always monitor and replace when necessary to ensure the best protection.
4. Can a mouthguard replace a night guard?
No, athletic mouthguards are larger in size and are meant for impact protection, not teeth-grinding reduction. Night guards are lighter, more comfortable, and on the other side cushion pressure to discourage clenching.
5. To what extent is the at-home impression process for the fabrication of individual night guards feasible?
ALIGNERCO's at-home kit is easy to use, instructions are easy to follow, and customer support is readily available. Based on your impressions, you submit them for a tailor-made night guard, no dental visit is needed.
