According to the American Dental Association about 95% of Americans suffer
from bruxism (teeth grinding) or clinching their teeth at some point in their
lives. The main causes for bruxism are stress, tension and anxiety. Bruxism
can impact your teeth, facial alignment and overall well-being as well as
interrupt sleep patterns and lead to severe jaw pain.
DenTek(R) Oral Care recently launched the Comfort-Fit Nightguard offering
sufferers the most comfortable, over-the-counter solution to nighttime teeth
grinding available. Comfort-Fit is similar to other nightguards but features
key upgrades such as no boiling required, the least material of any nightguard
on the market and a smaller, more comfortable lower-teeth fit. Ready to wear
right out of the package, it is easily adjustable and costs a fraction of the
price of nightguards fitted at a dental office.
Danielle, a 26-year-old teeth-grinding sufferer said, "this nightguard
sits comfortably in my mouth and I don't even notice it during the night! I
highly recommend it to anyone. The design is sleek and simple and the product
does what it claims."
"A well-fitting night guard can be a simple solution for protecting your
teeth from the ill effects of bruxism," said Dr. Noshir Mehta, Director of the
Craniofacial Pain Center at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.
"Severe bruxers grind with such force they could literally crack a walnut with
their teeth," he said.
