Night guards in Orland Park, Illinois, are custom dental appliances designed to prevent damage to your teeth and alleviate discomfort caused by bruxism. Our office provides high-quality, custom-fit night guards to help you sleep comfortably and protect your oral health. Dr. Brian Walczak, Dr. Sage VanAntwerp and Dr. Magdalena Zmek are here to guide you through the process of safeguarding your teeth.

What Are Night Guards?

Night guards are custom-made devices worn over the teeth during sleep to prevent the effects of bruxism, a condition characterized by grinding or clenching teeth. Bruxism can cause enamel wear, tooth fractures, jaw pain and headaches. A night guard provides a barrier between your teeth, reducing pressure and preventing further damage.

Benefits of Using a Night Guard

Wearing a night guard offers several significant benefits:

  • Protects Teeth: Prevents enamel erosion, fractures and wear caused by grinding.
  • Reduces Jaw Pain: Alleviates discomfort in the jaw and surrounding muscles.
  • Improves Sleep Quality: Helps you rest without discomfort or tension.
  • Prevents Long-Term Damage: Minimizes the risk of more extensive dental issues in the future.
  • Custom Comfort: Designed to fit your teeth perfectly for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

The Process of Getting a Night Guard

Our dentists will begin with a consultation to evaluate your condition and discuss your symptoms. If a night guard is recommended, we will take detailed impressions of your teeth to ensure a precise fit. The custom night guard will be crafted from durable materials and adjusted to provide optimal comfort. Regular checkups will ensure that your night guard continues to function effectively.
