Stop waking up with jaw pain and headaches. Protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) with a custom-fitted, ultra-comfortable night guard.
A custom night guard (also known as an occlusal splint) is a clear, slim, dental appliance worn over your upper or lower teeth during sleep. It acts as a protective barrier to prevent your upper and lower teeth from grinding against each other (a condition known as bruxism).
Unlike cheap pharmacy mouthguards, a night guard from Dr. Shahid Islam Dental Clinic in DHA Phase 5, Karachi is custom-moulded to the exact shape of your teeth. This ensures a perfect, comfortable fit that won't fall out while you sleep and won't throw your jaw out of alignment.
Waking up with a dull headache, earache, or sore jaw muscles (TMJ pain) is the most common symptom of heavy nighttime clenching.
Grinding wears away the protective enamel layer, exposing the sensitive dentin underneath, causing sharp pain when drinking cold liquids.
Severe bruxism can literally grind your teeth down, making them look short and flat. It can also chip the edges of your front teeth.
Your partner may hear you grinding your teeth at night, which can disrupt both of your sleep cycles.
Human jaws can exert immense pressure — up to 250 pounds of force — during sleep grinding. Leaving this untreated will eventually destroy your teeth, requiring thousands of rupees in restorative work like dental crowns, fillings, or even root canals if the tooth fractures. A night guard is a small investment that protects your smile for life.
A custom-fitted night guard at our DHA Phase 5 clinic costs between PKR 12,000 and PKR 25,000. Soft guards are on the lower end, while highly durable dual-laminate or hard acrylic guards for severe grinders are on the higher end.
No. Sports mouthguards are thick, rubbery, and designed to absorb impact. Wearing them at night stimulates the chewing reflex and can actually make your jaw clenching much worse, increasing TMJ pain.
Two short visits. In the first visit, we take a quick mould (impression) of your teeth. About a week later, you return for the second visit where we ensure the custom guard fits perfectly and make any necessary adjustments.
