Do night guards work in treating teeth grinding?

A night guard (night guard) is one of the most commonly used methods for treating bruxism. This clear appliance is placed over the teeth and acts as a buffer between them. This prevents the teeth from damaging each other and also reduces muscle over-contraction to some extent. While a night guard alone doesn’t completely stop bruxism, it is quite effective in preventing damage. However, it must be custom-made; commercially available products don’t provide adequate protection.
