Custom Occlusal Guards

Grinding and clenching your teeth can be harmful and lead to headaches, toothaches, and jaw pain. Since these behaviors are often involuntary, it's crucial to protect your teeth from damage. One effective solution is to use occlusal guards, which are customized, removable mouthpieces primarily worn at bedtime. In severe cases, patients may need to wear them during the day as well. Protecting your teeth from grinding and clenching is essential to prevent tooth breakage and loss, which can be costly to repair. By using occlusal guards, you can save your smile, alleviate headaches and TMJ pain, and avoid unnecessary expenses. To learn more about occlusal guards or to schedule an appointment, contact Fair Haven Dental in Fair Haven, VT at 802-265-3604.

Do I need two guards? One for the top and bottom?

Most patients only need the top, which is called the maxillary guard. In other cases, only the bottom or mandibular guard is prescribed.

How much are they?

An exam and consultation are needed to prescribe occlusal guards. Every situation is unique. Depending on yours, we’ll narrow down your best option and discuss the cost.
