                      |  Since most of the damage typically caused 
                        by bruxism is during sleep, 
                        a night guard can usually be made to stop further damage. 
                        A night guard is custom made to fit over the upper or 
                        lower teeth. With the night guard in place, the patient 
                        can't grind their teeth together and cause further damage. |  |  |  |  |
