Night guards are clear trays that are custom fabricated to protect the teeth from wear due to grinding (bruxism). Some symptoms of grinding include but are not limited to jaw pain, headaches, and facial pain. For patients that do suffer from bruxism, it is also recommended that they are screened for sleep apnea, which may be the cause of grinding in adults as well as children.
