Night Guards (Bruxism) & Sports Guards
Custom-Made Mouth Guards: Protection for Your Smile
Whether you are sleeping or engaging in your favorite sport, your teeth are exposed to potential risks. Unconscious teeth grinding at night (bruxism) and impacts from physical activity can lead to significant tooth damage, jaw pain, and other complex oral health problems. Our clinic in Antalya provides professionally crafted, custom-made guards to offer the ultimate protection for your unique smile.
Night Guards for Bruxism: A Shield While You Sleep
Bruxism, or the chronic grinding and clenching of teeth, often occurs during sleep. This intense pressure can cause long-term damage, including worn-down enamel, tooth fractures, increased sensitivity, chronic jaw pain (TMJ disorders), and persistent headaches.
A custom-made night guard is the most effective solution. Unlike bulky, ill-fitting over-the-counter options, our night guards are created from a precise impression of your teeth. This ensures a comfortable, secure fit that provides a protective cushion between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the grinding forces and allowing your jaw muscles to relax.
Sports Guards: Defend Your Smile During Play
A blow to the face during any sports activity can result in chipped or broken teeth, nerve damage, or even tooth loss. A professional sports guard is an essential piece of athletic equipment for both children and adults.
Our custom-fitted sports guards offer significantly superior protection compared to generic store-bought models. Made from durable, high-quality materials, they are designed to absorb and distribute the force of an impact, drastically reducing the risk of dental injury. Their perfect fit allows for easy breathing and speaking, so you can focus on your performance without distraction.
