Teeth guards – Protect your teeth from grinding

Protection Against Teeth Grinding and Jaw Clenching

Do you suffer from teeth grinding or jaw clenching while you sleep? This can lead to jaw pain, headaches, tooth wear, or even permanent damage. A mouthguard – also called a night guard – is the best solution to protect your teeth.

At Sleep Coach, you’ll find two types of night guards:

• Self-Fit Night Guards – easy to fit at home

• Custom Night Guards – professionally made for your teeth

On this page, we explain the difference so you can easily choose the right night guard for teeth grinding.
