If you have noticed painful jaws or severe headaches, but can’t seem to get rid of such problems, you could have a condition called bruxism. Bruxism is a condition in which you grind or clench your teeth. The Covid-19 pandemic has put a strain on people’s finances, resulting in more cases of stress. Consequently, teeth grinding and clenching are becoming common. According to a recent study, day-time teeth clenching has increased from 17% to 32%, while night teeth clenching has gone from 10% to 36% since the pandemic began. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for bruxism and to stop the underlying causes of teeth grinding and clenching, but the negative effects of bruxism can be avoided by wearing a nightguard.
A nightguard is a retainer-like plastic piece that can be hard or soft. It covers the biting surfaces and can be worn on either the bottom or top set of teeth. Since patients have different teeth patterns, a nightguard is custom-made for each patient by molding it to fit your teeth without the risk of being uncomfortable or unnecessarily bulky. It has many names; therefore, when you hear dentists talk about a mouthguard, occlusal guard, bite splint, dental guard, or nocturnal bite plate, they refer to the same thing.
