Night Guard Bangkok: Professional Treatment for Teeth Grinding and Jaw Clenching

Custom Night Guards from 3,500 THB | English-Speaking Dentists | Same Local Prices

If you're experiencing jaw pain, worn teeth, or someone has noticed you grinding your teeth at night, a custom night guard could be the effective solution you need. At CDC Dental Bangkok, our English-speaking specialists provide professional night guard treatment to protect your teeth and jaw joints from long-term damage.

What is a Night Guard?

A night guard (also called a dental splint or occlusal guard) is a custom-made dental appliance worn specifically during sleep to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching. This protective device helps prevent tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and other complications associated with nighttime bruxism.

Night guards are essential for patients who experience:

  • Teeth grinding or clenching during sleep
  • Morning jaw pain or stiffness
  • Unexplained headaches upon waking
  • Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
  • TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders
