Custom nightguards provide essential protection against teeth grinding and clenching that commonly occurs during sleep, often without your awareness. Dr. Delmar creates precision-fitted nightguards that cushion your teeth, reduce muscle tension, and prevent the damage caused by bruxism. A 2021 survey by the American Dental Association’s Health Policy Institute showed that more than 70% of dentists noticed signs of teeth grinding and clenching in their patients, an increase of nearly 10% over the previous year, making nightguard protection more important than ever.
Dr. Delmar’s approach to nightguard therapy goes beyond simple protection—she evaluates your bite alignment, jaw function, and overall oral health to create custom appliances that not only protect your teeth but also help alleviate TMJ symptoms and improve your sleep quality. Her thorough assessment identifies the underlying causes of grinding and clenching, allowing her to design nightguards that provide optimal comfort and protection while supporting your long-term oral health goals.
Custom nightguards prevent damage from teeth grinding and clenching, protecting your natural teeth and any dental work like crowns, veneers, or fillings from fractures, wear, and premature failure. This protection preserves your dental investments and oral health.
Properly fitted nightguards reduce muscle tension and jaw strain, often providing significant relief from TMJ symptoms including jaw pain, headaches, and facial discomfort. This improved comfort enhances your sleep quality and daily life.
Dr. Delmar creates nightguards specifically fitted to your unique mouth shape and bite pattern, ensuring maximum comfort and protection. Custom fabrication provides superior fit, retention, and effectiveness compared to over-the-counter alternatives.

Signs you may benefit from a nightguard include waking up with jaw pain or headaches, tooth sensitivity, flattened or chipped teeth, or if your partner notices grinding sounds at night. Dr. Delmar will examine your teeth for signs of wear and evaluate your jaw function to determine if a nightguard would be beneficial.
Custom nightguards are made from impressions of your teeth, ensuring perfect fit, optimal comfort, and maximum protection. They’re made from higher-quality materials and designed specifically for your bite pattern. Store-bought guards often fit poorly, are uncomfortable, and may not provide adequate protection.
Most patients adjust to wearing their custom nightguard within a few nights. Because Dr. Delmar creates a precise fit, custom nightguards are much more comfortable than generic alternatives. Many patients actually sleep better because the nightguard reduces jaw tension and muscle strain that can disrupt sleep.
Clean your nightguard daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or specialized cleaner. Store it in the provided case when not in use, and avoid exposing it to hot water which can warp the material. Bring your nightguard to dental appointments so Dr. Delmar can check its condition and fit.
Yes, custom nightguards can significantly reduce TMJ symptoms by preventing grinding and clenching that contribute to jaw muscle tension and joint strain. Dr. Delmar designs nightguards that not only protect your teeth but also help position your jaw in a more comfortable, relaxed position during sleep.
With proper care, custom nightguards typically last 3-5 years or longer, depending on the severity of your grinding and the material used. Dr. Delmar will monitor your nightguard’s condition during regular visits and recommend replacement when necessary to ensure continued protection and comfort.
