Do You Wake Up with Jaw Pain, Tooth Sensitivity, or Headaches?

If you often start your mornings with a sore jaw, worn teeth, or unexplained migraines, you could be experiencing bruxism—the unconscious habit of clenching or grinding teeth while you sleep.

At Whyte Dental Studio in Bengaluru, we see many patients struggling with facial tension, TMJ pain, and tooth wear caused by bruxism. The good news? A custom Night Guards for Bruxism can be a simple, non-invasive solution that protects your smile and improves your sleep quality.

1. What is a Night Guard for Bruxism?

A night guard (occlusal splint) is a slim, clear dental device that fits over your teeth. It works by:

Preventing tooth-to-tooth grinding
Reducing strain on jaw joints and muscles
Absorbing pressure to protect teeth, gums, and bone

Unlike bulky store-bought options, our custom-fitted night guards are comfortable, durable, and designed to stay secure all night.

2. Understanding Bruxism: Why It’s Harmful

Bruxism often goes unnoticed until symptoms appear, including:

Worn or chipped teeth
Jaw stiffness or clicking
Tooth sensitivity
Frequent morning headaches
Neck and shoulder pain

Left untreated, bruxism can lead to cracked teeth, gum recession, TMJ dysfunction, and even damage to crowns or veneers.

3. Benefits of Night Guards

A night guard doesn’t just protect your teeth—it improves your overall quality of life:

Prevents tooth wear & fractures
Eases jaw strain & tension
Protects dental restorations
Reduces headaches & migraines
Improves sleep comfort

4. Who Needs a Night Guard?

You may need a night guard if:

You wake up with sore jaws or headaches
