Nightguards & Bruxism Treatment in Dallas

Teeth grinding and clenching — also known as bruxism — often happens at night without you even realizing it. Over time, this habit can lead to worn-down teeth, jaw pain, headaches, and even cracked teeth. Dr. Jonathan Swope provides custom nightguards in Dallas, TX to protect your smile and relieve the strain on your jaw.

Signs You May Be Grinding or Clenching Your Teeth

  • Waking up with sore jaw muscles or headaches
  • Chipped, cracked, or worn-down teeth
  • Increased tooth sensitivity
  • Tension in the face, neck, or shoulders
  • Interrupted sleep

Why Bruxism Happens

Bruxism can be caused by stress, bite alignment issues, or even airway restrictions during sleep. In some cases, your jaw muscles contract to help keep your airway open, which can lead to clenching and grinding.

Custom Nightguards – Your First Line of Defense

Unlike store-bought guards, custom nightguards are made from precise impressions of your teeth, offering:

  • A comfortable, secure fit
  • Maximum durability and protection
  • Reduced pressure on teeth and jaw joints
  • Better sleep quality without bulky material

Additional Bruxism Treatment Options

In addition to nightguards, our office may recommend:

  • Botox therapy – In some cases, targeted Botox injections can help relax overactive jaw muscles, reducing clenching and grinding. This can also relieve related TMJ pain.
  • Stress management strategies – Reducing stress can help lessen nighttime clenching.
  • Bite adjustments – If your teeth are misaligned, small adjustments may improve comfort and reduce grinding.
