Say adieu to an afternoon of aching articulators! Learn more about the causes and effects of nighttime grinding plus how a customized mouthguard from Alpine Dental preserves pearly whites pleasantly through peaceful powder room pursuits.
Culprits of the Nighttime Grind
While causes are unclear, experts link bruxism to stress, genetics, and abnormalities in the bite. Interestingly, personality traits like perfectionism and competitiveness also correlate. Grinding may reflect anxiety release through muscle tension during non-REM sleep cycles when arousal levels dip.
Regardless of the trigger, bruxism bombarding your pearlies places you at serious risk if left unchecked. Cracked, chipped, or flattened teeth eventually lead to sensitivity, bite misalignment, and even TMJ trouble left to accrue over years of nocturnal damage.
A Custom Fit for Comfort
To ward off such woes, Alpine Dental’s state-of-the-art intraoral scanners create an exact digital model of your mouth precisely mimicking each unique tooth and gum contour. Using this data coupled with your bite analysis, our onsite lab technician fashioned a retainer precisely fitted to your dental architecture.
Constructed from BPA-free, temperature-sensitive material, each guard molds perfectly to your arch yet remains pliable preventing tooth trauma from rigid resistance. Comfort portals allow ventilation while soft interior layers cushion the clench. Wake refreshed, not fatigued, from a night protected by your personalized splint!
