Why You Might Need a Night Guard

Many people grind or clench their teeth while sleeping—a condition called bruxism. Over time, this can lead to:

Worn or cracked teeth
Jaw soreness or tightness
Frequent headaches
Facial muscle tension
Interrupted sleep

Custom dental guards help cushion your bite, protect your teeth, and relax your jaw while you sleep.

What to Expect When Getting a Night Guard

At Family Dental Care Alliston, we make the process simple and stress-free. Your visit will include:

Digital Impressions

Using our iTero digital scanner, we take quick, comfortable scans of your teeth—no goopy impressions needed. This ensures your guard fits snugly and feels natural.

Custom Fitting

Your night guard is crafted from high-quality, durable material at a trusted dental lab. Once it arrives, we make any final adjustments to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.

Care Instructions

We’ll walk you through how to care for your guard at home so it lasts longer and stays clean.

Night Guards for TMJ Relief

If you suffer from jaw pain or TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, a custom dental guard can help relieve symptoms by reducing pressure on your jaw muscles and joints.

Guards for Kids and Teens

Some children and teens grind their teeth at night, too. We offer custom night guards for growing smiles, helping prevent early enamel wear and promoting long-term oral health.

Our professionally made guards offer several key advantages over store-bought options:

Tailored to your bite for maximum comfort
Thinner and more durable than generic guards
Better protection against tooth wear and jaw tension
Improved sleep quality with less clenching and grinding
Peace of mind knowing your smile is protected

Benefits of a Custom Night Guard

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I grind my teeth at night?

Common signs include morning headaches, sore jaws, worn teeth, or your partner hearing grinding sounds while you sleep. A dental exam can confirm if a night guard may help.

Will my insurance cover a night guard?

Many insurance plans do offer coverage for night guards. We’re happy to check your benefits and help you understand your options.

How long does it take to get a custom night guard?

Usually about 1–2 weeks from scan to delivery. We’ll let you know as soon as it’s ready for pickup.

What areas do you serve?

We welcome patients from Alliston, Cookstown, and New Lowell, and we offer evening and weekend appointments for your convenience.

Can I use a night guard from the pharmacy?

Store-bought guards may offer short-term relief but often lack the fit, durability, and comfort of a custom one. A professional guard is a better long-term solution.

How do I clean my night guard?

Rinse it daily with cool water and brush gently with a soft toothbrush. Store it in its protective case and avoid using hot water, which can warp the material.
