Bruxism Night Guard
in Reseda, CA
Prevent tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches with a custom night guard designed to protect your smile while you sleep.
At Canby Dental, we provide custom made night guards to help patients suffering from bruxism, a condition that causes unconscious teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to worn teeth, jaw discomfort, headaches, and long term dental damage. Our custom night guards offer a comfortable and effective solution to protect your oral health.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the involuntary grinding, clenching, or tightening of the teeth, most commonly during sleep.
Bruxism can cause:
- Tooth wear and damage
- Jaw pain and tension
- Frequent headaches
- Tooth sensitivity
- Cracked or chipped teeth
- TMJ discomfort
A custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth to reduce pressure and prevent damage.
When Do You Need a Night Guard?
You may benefit from a custom night guard if you experience:
- Teeth grinding while sleeping
- Jaw soreness upon waking
- Frequent morning headaches
- Worn or flattened teeth

Many patients are unaware they grind their teeth until symptoms begin to appear.
