Custom Night Guards — Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep

Millions of people grind or clench their teeth at night without even knowing it. The condition — known as bruxism — puts enormous pressure on the teeth, jaw muscles, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), often causing worn enamel, cracked teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep. A custom-fitted night guard is one of the most effective ways to protect against this damage.

At Waypoint Mobile Dentistry, we fabricate custom night guards through a simple, comfortable in-home process. Dr. Obadiaru takes precise impressions of your teeth, which are sent to a dental lab where your night guard is crafted to fit your exact bite. Custom guards offer far superior protection and comfort compared to over-the-counter options, which are bulky, ill-fitting, and often abandoned within weeks.

Your custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the force of grinding and preventing direct tooth-to-tooth contact. Many patients also notice reduced jaw tension and morning headaches shortly after beginning regular use.

Signs You May Be Grinding: If you wake up with jaw soreness, headaches, or tooth sensitivity — or if a partner has told you they hear grinding at night — it’s worth getting evaluated. We can assess your teeth for signs of wear and determine whether a night guard is right for you.
