Nightguards in Birmingham

At Birmingham Emergency Dental, we offer custom-fit nightguards to protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism), clenching, and related jaw issues. Whether you’re experiencing morning headaches, worn-down teeth, or jaw discomfort, our dental team provides fast, precise solutions to preserve your smile and improve your comfort—often with same-day fittings.

When Is a Nightguard Needed?

Nightguards are recommended when you have symptoms or signs of nighttime grinding, clenching, or jaw tension. Left untreated, these issues can cause lasting damage to teeth, gums, and jaw joints. Common indicators that you may need a nightguard include:

Frequent Morning Headaches

Waking up with headaches or facial pain can be a sign that your jaw muscles are overworked during the night.

Worn or Flattened Teeth

Excessive grinding can wear down enamel, leading to sensitivity, fractures, and bite changes.

Jaw Pain or TMJ Discomfort

Tightness, popping, or soreness in the jaw joints may indicate strain from clenching or grinding while you sleep.

What to Expect When Getting a Nightguard

Our nightguard process is designed for accuracy, comfort, and long-lasting protection.

Consultation & Examination

We begin with a thorough evaluation to confirm signs of bruxism and determine the best nightguard for your needs.

Custom Impressions

We take precise digital or physical impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit.
