Teeth grinding or clenching that happens in your sleep can be hard to notice at first, but knowing how to recognize the signs is key to taking early action. We’ll go through the most common ways to recognize that you grind or clench your teeth, and what you can do to stop it in its tracks.   One of the earliest signs of teeth grinding and clenching is feeling like your jaw muscles are tight or sore, especially when waking up in the morning. If when you stretch your jaw open you feel tension and tenderness, this is a good indicator that you may be tensing your jaw and therefore clenching or grinding your teeth. Headaches are another common symptom of teeth grinding and clenching. Of course, headaches can occur for a variety of reasons, but if they are also accompanied by feelings of jaw tension or soreness, it is likely that the headaches are related to grinding. Another common symptom is the wearing down of the surfaces of your teeth, and even sometimes cracks or other more severe ...

If you just found out that you grind your teeth, you may have started hearing and seeing the word bruxism. So what is bruxism and what can you do about it?

Maybe you’ve just found out that you grind your teeth, or maybe you’ve been wearing night guards for years. Either way, if you’re considering getting a new night guard, read on to find out why getting a night guard that’s custom made for you might be the best fit for your teeth and your wallet. Until recently, there were only two main ways to get a night guard: through your dentist or at the drugstore. Night guards from the dentist are custom made using quality materials but tend to be costly, often ranging in price from $400-$700. This is a very high price to pay, especially when you consider that people who grind their teeth often grind through their night guards and need to replace them. On the other hand, there are inexpensive night guards from the drugstore. Though this option is cheap and convenient, these night guards often don’t provide the protection that they claim and can potentially make teeth grinding problems worse. At Chomper Labs, we believe everyone has a right to heal...

When it comes to choosing a night guard, it can sometimes seem difficult to figure out which type will be the best one for you. At Chomper Labs, we create quality custom night guards and give you the ability to choose the material that’s best for you. We’ll walk you through the main factors to consider and explain the difference between two common types of night guards.  There are two main factors to consider when choosing a night guard: the level of grinding protection you need and the level of comfort you want.

Now that you know what to keep in mind, let’s talk about two common types of night guard materials. The hard night guard is made of a rigid acrylic material that offers enhanced durability and protection for heavy grinders. It’s a g...

Moderate to heavy grinders and clenchers face injuries in their sleep. We can see sportspeople wearing the mouth guards in their matches when they’re active on the field for preventing injuries. Similarly, people facing these issues must wear them to their sleep. When you’re searching – how to get a night guard – probably you’d get a wide range of options, starting from the cheapest ones to the most expensively-designed ones. Your solution lies somewhere in between. The cheapest varieties aren’t custom-made, which makes them suitable only for the upper jaw and not the entire jaw system. Likewise, costly night guards would burn your pockets – specifying ‘unsuitability’ in terms of budget. However, you have the option to find yourself an affordable custom night guard without spending a lot of money. Chomper Labs introduces the best custom guards for doorstep delivery. Speaking of which, it’s still not safe moving around at the outdoors – stay safe in your home. At Chomper Labs, you get...
