If you grind or clench your teeth at night, you may be at risk for tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches. At Sleep Dentistry, we offer custom-fit nightguards in Portland, OR, and Vancouver, WA, to protect your teeth and relieve symptoms associated with bruxism (teeth clinching or grinding) and TMJ disorders.
A nightguard is a custom-made oral appliance worn over your teeth while you sleep to prevent grinding, clenching, and jaw tension. It acts as a protective barrier, reducing the risk of enamel wear, fractures, and jaw pain caused by excessive pressure on the teeth and jaw muscles.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, a nightguard may help:
✔ Frequent teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
✔ Morning headaches or jaw pain
✔ Tooth sensitivity or worn-down enamel
✔ Chipped, cracked, or broken teeth
✔ Tension in the jaw, neck, or face
✔ Disruptive sleep due to clenching or grinding
✔ Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw (TMJ disorder)
If left untreated, bruxism can lead to serious dental problems, including broken teeth, receding gums, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
✔ Protects Teeth from Wear & Damage – Prevents grinding-related fractures, enamel erosion, and sensitivity.
✔ Reduces Jaw Pain & TMJ Symptoms – Eases tension in the jaw and facial muscles.
✔ Minimizes Headaches & Facial Discomfort – Reduces stress on the jaw muscles that cause tension headaches.
✔ Improves Sleep Quality – Prevents unconscious clenching and grinding, leading to more restful sleep.
✔ Custom Fit for Comfort – Unlike over-the-counter nightguards, custom nightguards are designed for maximum comfort and durability.
Getting a custom nightguard is a quick and painless process:
We take digital or traditional impressions to create a precise mold of your teeth for a perfect fit.
Your nightguard is crafted from high-quality, durable materials tailored to your bite and comfort level.
Once your nightguard is ready, we ensure it fits securely and comfortably, making any necessary adjustments.

✔ Bring it to dental checkups to ensure continued fit and effectiveness.
Don’t let teeth grinding and jaw pain affect your oral health and sleep quality. A custom nightguard from Sleep Dentistry can provide the protection and relief you need.
