At Jasper Avenue Dental Choice, we understand how important it is to protect your teeth from grinding, clenching, and sports injuries. Our custom nightguards and sportguards in Downtown Edmonton, AB, are designed to keep your smile safe and healthy.
What Are Nightguards and Sportguards?
Nightguards are dental devices worn during sleep. They protect your teeth if you grind or clench them at night. Many people grind their teeth without realizing it. This common habit is known as bruxism.
Sportguards help protect your teeth and jaw during sports by cushioning impacts. They are made from flexible materials to absorb shock and reduce the risk of chips, fractures, and knocked-out teeth.
Why You Might Need a Nightguard
If you wake up with headaches or jaw pain
If your teeth show signs of wear or flattening
If you clench or grind your teeth while sleeping
To protect dental restorations like crowns or fillings
A custom nightguard helps relieve jaw pressure and prevent long-term damage caused by grinding and clenching.
Why You Might Require a Sportguard
A sportguard may be needed in situations such as the following:
If you play contact sports such as football or hockey
To reduce the risk of broken or knocked-out teeth
To help prevent cuts on the lips, cheeks, or tongue
To protect the jaw from injury
Custom-made sportguards offer greater comfort and protection than over-the-counter options.
