Same-Day Night Guards in Charlotte, NC
Waking up with jaw pain, headaches or worn teeth can be a sign you grind or clench at night. A custom night guard made the same day protects your teeth while you sleep.

Tired of waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth? Our same-day custom night guards offer fast, effective protection against grinding and clenching—so you can sleep comfortably and wake up feeling refreshed. Night guards are part of our restorative dentistry in Charlotte.
Signs You May Need a Night Guard
Grinding and clenching (bruxism) often happen during sleep, so many people don’t notice until symptoms appear:
- Morning jaw soreness or tension
- Headaches
- Worn or flattened enamel
- Cracked or damaged teeth
Jaw clicking or popping can also point to TMJ/TMD, which we treat as part of our preventive dentistry in Charlotte.
Caring for Your Night Guard
Rinse your guard after each use, brush it gently and keep it in its case. Bring it to your checkups so we can check the fit and wear. Note that Invisalign trays are not designed to work as a night guard.
