Waking up with jaw pain or headaches? You might be grinding your teeth at night—and your smile could be paying the price. At Sixth Line Family Dental in Oakville, we offer custom night guards that help protect your teeth and ease the strain on your jaw.
Bruxism (that’s the official name for teeth grinding and clenching) can wear down enamel, cause sensitivity, and even lead to long-term damage. Our night guards act as a gentle barrier between your teeth, helping relax your jaw muscles and prevent further harm so you can sleep easier and smile brighter.
We’ll work with you to find the right fit, with custom-made guards built for comfort and lasting protection. If something doesn’t feel right or you’re waking up sore, let’s talk. We’re here to help.
It depends on your needs. Some people only grind occasionally and can use a basic, one-size-fits-all option. But if you’re grinding often or feeling pain, a custom-fit nightguard is usually the best solution. We’ll help you choose what works best for your smile.
Over-the-counter nightguards can offer some relief if you only grind once in a while. But they aren’t made to fit your mouth exactly—and that can affect comfort and protection. They’re a budget-friendly option, but not always a long-term fix.
A custom nightguard is built just for you. At Sixth Line Family Dental, we take an in-office impression of your teeth to create a nightguard that fits snugly and comfortably. This personalized fit helps it stay in place and protects your teeth more effectively.
Yes! This type of nightguard is available for online orders and requires you to send an impression of your teeth. With this impression, your fitted mouthpiece will be created and sent back to you for use.
If you’re waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth, don’t wait. Book a visit with us. We’ll look at what’s going on and walk you through the best next steps—no pressure, just guidance and support.
