Night guards For Bruxism
Custom Night Guards to Stop Tooth Grinding
Do you wake up with a sore jaw or headaches? You may be grinding your teeth at night. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, wears down your teeth, strains your jaw, and disrupts your sleep. At St. Lawrence Dentistry in Mississauga, we create custom night guards that protect your teeth while you sleep and reduce jaw tension and headaches.
Why Wear a Night Guard
Teeth grinding is destructive. Over time, it flattens your teeth, causes chips and cracks, and accelerates tooth wear. A protective night guard cushions your teeth and prevents the damage grinding causes.

Custom-Fitted for Comfort
Over-the-counter mouth guards are bulky and uncomfortable. Our custom night guards are thin, comfortable, and designed to fit your mouth perfectly. You’ll forget you’re wearing it.
Better Sleep, Healthier Teeth
Many patients notice they sleep better and wake without jaw pain once they start wearing a night guard. Your teeth stay strong and healthy for years to come.
Stop Jaw Pain and Headaches
If grinding causes morning headaches or jaw tension, a night guard often eliminates these problems quickly. Wake up refreshed instead of sore.
