Night Guards in Burlington, MA If you wake up with a sore jaw, a dull headache behind your temples, or teeth that feel tender for no clear reason, you may be grinding or clenching in your sleep. The condition is called bruxism, and most people who have it don't know until the damage shows up — worn enamel, chipped edges, flattened molars, or cracked fillings. At Serenity Facial Aesthetics and Spa, Dr. Kamand Shaibani designs custom night guards for patients across Burlington and Brookline, MA. A properly fitted night guard is one of the simplest, most cost-effective ways to protect your teeth from years of nighttime wear — and it's far less expensive than the crowns, veneers, or root canals that untreated grinding eventually requires. What Is a Night Guard?A night guard is a thin, custom-molded appliance worn over your upper or lower teeth while you sleep. It creates a protective barrier so your teeth glide instead of grind, and it cushions the force your jaw muscles generate overnight — which can exceed what you'd ever produce while chewing. Custom night guards from a dental professional differ from drugstore "boil-and-bite" trays in a few important ways:
Signs You May Need a Night GuardMany patients in Burlington and Brookline come to us after living with these symptoms for a long time:
If two or more sound familiar, a short evaluation can tell you whether bruxism is the cause. Night Guards and TMJ TherapyGrinding and TMJ disorder often travel together. Chronic clenching overloads the temporomandibular joint and the muscles surrounding it, producing pain that radiates into the face, ears, and neck. Because Serenity Facial Aesthetics and Spa also offers TMJ Therapy, Dr. Shaibani can address both the mechanical protection and the muscular tension driving your symptoms. For some patients, that means a night guard alone. For others, combining a guard with therapeutic injectable treatment to relax overactive jaw muscles delivers relief that neither approach achieves by itself. You'll get a recommendation based on your exam — not a one-size-fits-all plan. Why Patients Choose Dr. ShaibaniDr. Kamand Shaibani earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) from Temple University School of Dentistry and has practiced in the Boston area since 1999. She opened Dental Care of Burlington in 2006 and, from 2023 to 2025, taught at Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine as a Group Practice Leader, mentoring the next generation of clinicians. That clinical depth matters for something as fit-dependent as a night guard. Dr. Shaibani takes a patient-centered approach — spending real time on evaluation, explaining what she sees, and building a plan around your bite, your symptoms, and your goals. Her philosophy is preventive: small, well-timed interventions protect your teeth and your smile for decades.
