Night guard dental appliance for protecting teeth from grinding during sleep

What are Night Guards?

Night guards are custom-made dental appliances worn during sleep to protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching. These thin, comfortable trays act as a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, helping prevent enamel wear, jaw pain, headaches, and long-term dental damage.

At Azusa Dental Clinic, each night guard is tailored to fit your bite perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and protection.
