Overview
Night guards (occlusal guards) protect your teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep (bruxism). Custom-fitted at our Kakinada clinic, these appliances prevent tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. If you wake up with jaw soreness or have worn-down teeth, a night guard can provide relief and protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need a night guard?
Signs include waking with jaw pain, headaches, worn-down teeth, tooth sensitivity, or if your partner hears you grinding at night. Dr. Padmavathi can diagnose bruxism during examination.
How long does a night guard last?
With proper care, a custom night guard typically lasts 3-5 years. Lifespan depends on grinding severity and maintenance. We'll check it during regular dental visits.
Is a custom night guard better than store-bought?
Yes! Custom guards fit precisely, are more comfortable, provide better protection, and don't interfere with breathing. They're worth the investment for long-term use.
Will I be able to sleep comfortably with a night guard?
Most patients adjust within a few nights. Custom guards are thin and comfortable. Any initial awkwardness quickly disappears as you get used to wearing it.
