Occlusal & Sports Guards in Ravenswood, Chicago

Occlusal Guards for Nighttime Grinding

If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth, you may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night — a condition known as bruxism.

A custom occlusal guard (also called a night guard) cushions your teeth and relieves tension in your jaw. It’s a simple way to protect your enamel and ease discomfort.

Dr. Renieris designs each guard to fit precisely, offering a more durable and comfortable alternative to store-bought versions. For ongoing clenching or TMJ pain, we may also recommend bruxism therapy or TMJ therapy for lasting relief.

Sports Guards for Active Lifestyles

Sports guards are essential for anyone involved in contact or high-impact activities. A custom-fit mouthguard shields your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury — and it’s far more comfortable and protective than generic over-the-counter versions.

We create guards for both children and adults, designed to stay secure during sports like:

• Football
  
• Basketball
  
• Soccer
  
• Hockey
  
• Lacrosse
  
• Martial arts and more
  

Whether you’re competing or training, a professional guard offers reliable protection without affecting speech or breathing.
