Mouthguards and Night Guards in Cambridge, MA
Custom mouthguards and night guards help protect your teeth from wear, damage and strain caused by sports, clenching or grinding (bruxism). Whether you’re an athlete or someone who grinds their teeth at night, a professionally fitted guard provides superior protection compared to over-the-counter options.
Our team uses advanced digital impressions to ensure a precise, comfortable fit and optimal performance. Custom guards not only prevent chips, cracks and jaw discomfort but also help reduce headaches and improve sleep quality.
