For those of you who have struggled with bruxism, or teeth grinding, you likely know the strain it puts on your teeth, gums, and jaw. At Progressive Dental in Oklahoma City, we offer a gentle solution. Protect your teeth from grinding by choosing a night guard. A custom-made mouthguard can actually relieve your bruxism problem, as these guards are fitted to match the unique shape of each wearer’s mouth.

Bruxism is harmful because of the immense strain and pressure it places on the teeth and jaw. Some people experience headaches as a result, while others actually break their teeth during their sleep! Over a long period of time, the facial bones can actually shift and disrupt the proper alignment of the upper and lower jaw bones. Grinding teeth is also indicative of very poor quality of sleep — leaving you to struggle the next day with lack of productivity and mental clarity.
