Have Questions About Night Guards?
What Are Night Guards?
A night guard is a custom-made dental appliance worn while you sleep to protect your teeth and jaw from the effects of bruxism (teeth grinding) and clenching. Made from durable, high-quality materials, these guards cushion your teeth, reduce muscle strain, and prevent premature wear or damage.
Wearing a night guard can help you wake up pain-free, protect your restorations, and prevent costly dental repairs down the road.
Who Needs a Night Guard?
You may benefit from a night guard if you:
- Grind or clench your teeth during sleep
- Experience frequent jaw pain or tension
- Have symptoms of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder
- Notice worn or chipped teeth
- Have crowns, veneers, or restorations that need extra protection
We’ll evaluate your bite and discuss your symptoms to find out if a custom night guard can help protect your smile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Night Guards
How do I know if I need a night guard?
If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or notice worn or chipped teeth, you may be grinding or clenching at night. Schedule a consultation at Coastline Dental in San Juan Capistrano to determine if a night guard is right for you.
Are over-the-counter night guards effective?
Store-bought night guards provide limited protection and often don’t fit comfortably. A custom night guard made by your dentist offers better durability, comfort, and long-term protection for your teeth and jaw.
How long do night guards last?
With proper care, a high-quality night guard can last several years. We’ll check its condition during your regular visits and let you know when it’s time for a replacement.
Can a night guard help with TMJ pain?
Yes. A properly fitted night guard can reduce strain on your jaw joint and help relieve pain caused by TMJ disorders or chronic teeth grinding.
Are night guards covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your provider and plan. Our team can help you review your benefits and explain what portion of a custom night guard may be covered.
How do I clean my night guard?
Rinse your night guard every morning and gently brush it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material, and store it in its protective case when not in use.
Can I wear a night guard with braces or retainers?
Yes, in most cases. Your dentist can design a custom night guard that fits comfortably over your orthodontic appliances to protect your teeth during treatment.
