Protection for enamel, and for work you have already paid for.
A guard made from digital scans of your own teeth, worn at night. It creates a protective layer between the teeth and is designed to reduce wear from grinding and clenching.
Morning headaches, jaw tension, visible wear, sensitivity, and any clicking in the joint, assessed together with your bite alignment.

Digital scan
No impressions. The scan captures the bite as it actually closes, and your guard is fabricated from professional-grade material chosen for how heavily you grind.

How she decides
A guard protects the teeth from wear related to clenching and grinding. If jaw soreness, headaches, clicking, or other symptoms are part of the picture, Dr. Haykani considers them during the evaluation and builds the plan around the full pattern of symptoms.
Anything else, call or text. You will hear back the same day.
Nightguards are quoted separately from orthodontic treatment. Call or text and we will give you the current fee the same day.

Its job is protection: a custom nightguard is designed to protect your teeth from wear related to grinding and clenching. If jaw soreness, headaches, or clicking are part of the picture, Dr. Haykani considers those symptoms during the evaluation and recommends the appropriate next step.
Rinse with cool water each morning, brush gently with a soft toothbrush and mild antibacterial soap, then let it air dry in its case. Keep it away from hot water, which can warp the material.
Most patients settle within a few nights. Because it is made to your exact anatomy it is far slimmer than a generic guard. Tell Dr. Haykani about snoring or known sleep-related breathing concerns so those factors can be considered when planning the appliance.
