Custom Night Guards
If you grind or clench your teeth at night (bruxism), a custom night guard can protect your enamel from wear and relieve jaw pain and headaches. At Ryerson Smile Boutique, we fabricate night guards from dental-grade materials, custom-fitted to your bite for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
What is it?
A custom night guard is a dental appliance worn during sleep to protect teeth from the damaging effects of grinding and clenching (bruxism).
How it works?
Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a guard that fits precisely over your upper or lower teeth, cushioning them and preventing direct contact during grinding.
How it helps?
Night guards protect tooth enamel from wear, reduce jaw pain and headaches, and prevent the long-term consequences of untreated bruxism.

An impression is taken, and the finished guard is fitted at a follow-up visit with minor adjustments as needed.
The impression takes 15–20 minutes. The guard is ready in about 1–2 weeks.
Most patients take a few nights to adjust to sleeping with it. Consistent nightly use is what makes the difference.
No recovery needed. Many patients notice less jaw tension and fewer morning headaches within the first couple of weeks.
