Night guard is a removable, custom-fitted plastic appliance that fits between the upper and lower teeth to prevent them from clenching/grinding against each other. When you clench your jaw, the night guard for teeth helps to lighten the tension and give cushion to the muscles in the jaw. This cushioning not only helps to prevent face and jaw pain, but also protects the enamel chipping of your teeth. Usually worn at night to prevent grinding during sleep.
