For Bruxism and TMJ Relief in Calgary SW

Custom Dental Night Guards

If you wake up with a sore jaw, dull headache, or tooth pain, you may be experiencing bruxism—a condition caused by clenching or grinding your teeth during sleep. These symptoms are often linked to TMJ or TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), which affects the muscles and joints that control jaw movement.

A properly fitted night guard can help protect your teeth and relieve jaw discomfort. At Signal Hill Dental Centre in Calgary SW, we design custom night guards that help reduce pain, prevent tooth damage, and promote better sleep.

Why Get A Custom Night Guard with Signal Hill Dental Centre

Custom Night Guards in Calgary SW

Why You Might Need a Night Guard

Night guards (also called dental mouthguards) provide a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, minimizing pressure and preventing enamel wear. Wearing one can help:
  • Prevent chipped or broken teeth
  • Reduce jaw tension and soreness
  • Minimize headaches and neck pain
  • Protect dental restorations such as fillings or crowns

If you grind or clench your teeth at night, speak to our team at Signal Hill Dental Centre about whether a custom night guard is right for you.

Types of Night Guards

Stock Mouthguards
These over-the-counter, ready-made guards are the most affordable but provide minimal protection. They are not customized, often fit poorly, and require you to bite down to stay in place—making it difficult to breathe or speak comfortably. They can even cause jaw muscle soreness and are not recommended for long-term use.
Available at most pharmacies, these mouthguards are softened in hot water and shaped around your teeth. While they offer better protection than stock guards, they can easily be molded incorrectly, which may alter your bite or lead to discomfort. Over time, a poor fit can even contribute to TMJ strain.
For the best protection and comfort, your dentist can create a custom night guard made specifically for your bite. Using digital 3D scans, your Calgary SW dental team designs a mouthguard that fits precisely and evenly distributes pressure while you sleep. Custom-made guards are less bulky, more durable, and provide optimal protection against tooth wear and muscle pain.

Additional Treatment Options for Jaw Pain

In addition to custom night guards, our team also offers Botox® for restorative dental treatment—a safe and effective way to help manage muscle tension and pain associated with bruxism and TMJ disorders.
