Nightguards and Bruxism Relief in Houston Heights
If you wake up with jaw tension, tooth sensitivity, or morning headaches, nighttime grinding may be the cause. At Clio Dental Studio, Dr. Rouhani designs custom nightguards that protect your teeth, relax your jaw, and help you rest easier every night.
What Is Bruxism?
Bruxism is the habitual clenching or grinding of teeth-often while you sleep or during times of stress. Over time, this can wear away enamel, chip teeth, irritate the gums, and strain the joints and muscles around the jaw (TMJ). Custom-made nightguards act as a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, preventing this damage before it starts.
Signs You May Need a Nightguard
- Frequent jaw or facial pain upon waking
- Flattened or fractured teeth edges
- Increased tooth sensitivity
- Clicking or popping in the jaw joint (TMJ)
- Chronic morning headaches or neck stiffness
Why Choose a Custom Nightguard?
Store-bought nightguards rarely fit well. Dr. Rouhani uses iTero® digital scanning to create an exact 3D model of your bite. Each guard is fabricated from durable yet comfortable materials that fit snugly, allow easy breathing, and stay secure throughout the night.
Benefits of Custom Nightguards
- Prevents enamel wear and tooth fractures
- Relieves jaw pressure and muscle fatigue
- Improves sleep quality and reduces grinding noise
- Protects veneers, crowns, and other restorations
- Long-lasting comfort and easy maintenance
Complete Bruxism Relief and TMJ Care
Our approach goes beyond protection. Dr. Rouhani evaluates your bite alignment and muscle function to address the root cause of grinding. She may recommend stretching exercises, orthodontic adjustments, or stress-management techniques for lasting relief.
