16TH AVENUE DENTAL is pleased to offer NW Calgary Nightguards for people with TMJ & TMD disorders. A Nightguard can help everyone in your family, including yourself, get a good night’s sleep.
A Nightguard a dental device that is used to prevent teeth grinding and clenching at night. They are designed to fit over your top teeth and work to prevent wear and tear on the teeth and muscles of the head, face, and jaw.
TMJ disorders are typically treated with a Nightguard. After a TMD & TMJ Assessment, a custom Nightguard may be prescribed to position the jaw in a way that reduces stress on the muscles of the face and neck and protects the enamel surface of the teeth when TMJ disorders include clenching and grinding of the teeth.
