Have you ever felt your jaw to be sore in the morning? Do you frequently wake up with a headache? Are your teeth showing signs of excessive wear? If so, you may be experiencing bruxism.

Bruxism is a term for teeth grinding while sleeping. This unconscious habit can have serious health consequences including teeth wear, headaches, cracked teeth, and even severe problems with your TMJ (jaw). Fortunately, there is a way to protect against the effects of bruxism. Dr. Jing-Jing Qian can create a custom nightguard to comfortably fit you. Tailored to your unique, personal oral anatomy, your nightguard will fit snugly in your mouth and absorb the forces of teeth grinding while asleep. 

After waking up, simply take the nightguard out in the morning and brush your teeth like normal. It is important not to leave bruxism untreated. Schedule your appointment for a custom nightguard today by calling us at (650)-572-8518.
