Night Guards

What is Night Guards?

A night guard is a custom made appliance worn over the teeth during sleep to protect them from grinding or clenching, a condition known as bruxism. Persistent bruxism can cause tooth wear, fractures, gum recession, headaches and jaw joint problems. A properly fitted night guard cushions these forces and distributes them more evenly, helping to protect both natural teeth and restorations.

Why Choose Night Guards at Inci Dis?

Inci Dis creates night guards based on digital or high quality conventional impressions so that the fit is precise and comfortable. Depending on your needs, we may recommend a soft, hard or dual layer appliance. Before delivering the guard, we check your bite and make fine adjustments so that it feels stable without creating new pressure points. We also explain how often the appliance should be checked or replaced, since grinding can gradually change its shape.

How the Process Works

Because many of our restorative and implant patients clench their teeth more after major dental work, we often include night guard planning in large treatment plans. Our dentists will show you how to care for the appliance, how to clean it and what signs of wear to look out for. If you live abroad, we can coordinate with your local dentist so that minor adjustments can be made near your home while we remain available for consultation and guidance.
