Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do Bruxism Mouthguards Help with Teeth Grinding?
Bruxism mouthguards act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, reducing the pressure and friction caused by grinding or clenching. Bruxism mouthguards help prevent tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and other symptoms associated with bruxism. Custom-fitted nightguards are especially effective, as they are tailored to your bite for maximum comfort and protection.
2. How Long Do Dental Mouthguards Last?
The lifespan of dental mouthguards depends on how often it’s used and how well it is maintained. In general, a custom mouthguard used for teeth grinding may last 6 months to 2 years. Keep in mind that sports mouthguards may need to be replaced more frequently, especially for children or teens whose mouths are still growing. Regular dental check-ups can help assess whether it’s time for a replacement.
3. Can I Wear a Mouthguard with Braces?
It is possible to wear specially designed mouthguards even if you have braces.. Orthodontic mouthguards are made to fit over braces and protect both your teeth and soft tissues from injury during contact sports. Keep in mind that it is crucial to wear a custom mouthguard to ensure a secure and comfortable fit.
4. How Effective are Snoring Mouthguards?
Snoring mouthguards, also known as mandibular advancement devices, can help manage mild to moderate sleep apnea and reduce snoring. These devices work by gently repositioning the jaw to keep the airway open during sleep.
5. How Often Should I be Cleaning a Mouthguard?
When it comes to cleaning a mouthguard, the best way is to rinse it with cool water after each use and gently brush it with a soft toothbrush, mild soap or non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid using hot water, as it can damage the material and always allow it to air dry completely before storing it in a clean, ventilated case.
