What Are Night Guards?
Night guards are custom-made mouthguards that children wear while sleeping to help protect their teeth from grinding or clenching. They create a soft barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing pressure, tooth wear, and morning jaw discomfort.
A night guard can be helpful if your child wakes up with sore teeth, complains of jaw pain, or makes grinding sounds during sleep. If grinding is connected to ongoing mouth habits, our pediatric oral habits guidance can help parents understand what may be affecting their child’s smile. A custom night guard is designed to fit comfortably and protect your child’s teeth through the night.
