Nightguards in Houston, TX
Waking up with jaw soreness, headaches, or worn-down teeth? A custom nightguard from Muse Dental Studio in Houston, TX, protects your smile from the damage of nighttime grinding and clenching. Dr. Tatari designs each guard to fit your bite precisely — so it's comfortable enough to actually wear.
Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Nightguards?
A nightguard is a custom-fit appliance you wear while you sleep to cushion your teeth and relax your jaw. Many people grind or clench their teeth at night — a condition called bruxism — often without knowing it. Over time that pressure wears down enamel, cracks teeth, and strains the jaw joint. A nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, easing that force and preventing long-term damage. Unlike bulky drugstore guards, a custom nightguard is made from a precise scan of your mouth for a secure, comfortable fit.

How is a custom nightguard better than a store-bought one?
Drugstore guards are one-size-fits-all, so they're often bulky, loose, and uncomfortable — which means people stop wearing them. A custom guard from Muse Dental Studio is made from a precise scan of your teeth for a secure, comfortable fit you'll actually keep using.
How do I know if I grind my teeth?
Many people grind in their sleep without realizing it. Common clues are morning jaw soreness, frequent headaches, worn or sensitive teeth, or a partner who hears grinding at night. Dr. Tatari can confirm it by examining your teeth and bite.
How long does a nightguard last?
With good care, a custom nightguard typically lasts several years. We'll show you how to clean and store it, and check its condition at your regular visits.
Can a nightguard help with TMJ pain?
Often, yes. By easing clenching and relaxing the jaw, a nightguard can reduce the strain that contributes to TMJ discomfort. Dr. Tatari may recommend it as part of a broader TMJ treatment plan.
How much does a custom nightguard cost?
Cost depends on the type of guard that's right for you. Many dental plans offer some coverage, we offer financing, and our team will review the price with you before we begin.
