Night plate, which is a special mouth guard to protect your teeth, is made specifically for you by taking an impression of your teeth.

If you clench your teeth a lot while sleeping, you may be all too familiar with waking up with a sore jaw and headaches in the morning. Nothing ever protects your teeth more than a custom mouthguard. Since the night plate is completely compatible with your teeth, it helps prevent your teeth clenching reflex at night.

A custom-made night tray is a special protection that is professionally modified to fit the patient’s tooth structure. This will ensure that your teeth are not clenched and that you can sleep comfortably, pain-free. Custom-made night aligners are very comfortable and also help prevent pain, headaches, and jaw pain. It is enough to wear the completely transparent night aligners while you sleep and remove them when you wake up in the morning. Night aligners are very effective in the treatment of bruxism, as excessive clenching of the teeth will cause both wear and tear and pain.
