Custom 3D-Printed Night Guards in Rosemead

Waking up with a sore jaw, headaches, or worn, chipped teeth? You may be grinding or clenching your teeth at night. At Kuwaye Dental in Rosemead, Dennis Kuwaye, Jr., DDS, FAGD, designs custom night guards from a quick digital scan on our Medit i900 scanner – no goopy impressions – and we 3D print them right here in the office on our SprintRay printer. Because it's made from a scan of your own teeth, your guard fits your bite, unlike one-size-fits-all store-bought guards. A night guard helps protect your teeth from the wear and chipping that grinding causes.

Jaw Pain, TMJ and Clenching

Clicking, soreness or tightness in your jaw joint (TMJ) can come from clenching and grinding, but it can have other causes too. At your visit, Dr. Kuwaye will check your teeth, bite and jaw muscles and talk with you about your symptoms. For many patients, a custom night guard is a simple first step to take pressure off the teeth and jaw while you sleep. If your symptoms point to something more, we'll explain your options, including a referral to a specialist when that's the best fit.
