Product Information

Tear-resistant:If you are getting a sports mouth guard it should not break or tear away with pressure. It should be strong enough to There are usually “three [material texture] choices [for night guards]: soft, hard and dual-laminated,” according to Keith Kohrs, D.D.S., a Colorado-based orthodontist. Soft night guards typically utilize “soft acrylic material,” hard night guards are typically designed using “a copolyester material or acrylic,” and dual-laminated night guards are typically made with copolyester and EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate),” explains Dr. Kohrs.

You do not want to spend on a dental guard that does not last long. After all, every investment should be worth each penny. Since dental guards are designed to protect against grinding and clenching, they must be durable enough to withstand the pressure. Heavy teeth grinders need the replacement of the dental guard more often than others. Dental guard manufacturers usually keep the patient’s teeth impressions safe for later use when making replacements. This also makes subsequent dental guard manufacturers less expensive. Price Adjusting them is pretty easy, just boil some water and put it in the bowl, remove it after a few seconds and bite down firmly on it. The set also includes a convenient carrying and protective case to keep anything nasty off the surface of the mouthguard. Night Time Mouth Guards If you frequently grind or clench your teeth at night while sleeping, night guards may be an ideal solution to protect your teeth from damage—temporarily, at least, explains Dr. Hales. “A night guard should only be used as a preventative tool to help protect the teeth until further diagnosis can be achieved to understand the underlying issues causing the grinding.” Mouth guards are typically designed to fit either upper or lower teeth. Which one to buy largely depends on preference. Both prevent grinding by creating a barrier between your teeth, so you can make a decision based on your dentist’s recommendation or comfort. It’s best practice to cover the teeth where you’ll likely get the best fit — i.e., your straightest row of teeth or where you don’t have existing dental work. If you think doubling up will somehow further treat your grinding, it won’t. Dr. Nojan says, “There’s no benefit to it, and the risk is, if you open up the jaw too much at nighttime so that the jaw gets accustomed to that position”—which might happen with two competing appliances—“then you might not be able to bring your teeth together after prolonged use. One is usually enough.” Durable:It should be durable enough to last you for long periods. You get good value for your money with a durable mouth guard.When selecting a night guard, “consult with a dentist who can oversee your treatment and make recommendations specific to your symptoms,” recommends Dr. Hales. The following factors are critical criteria to consider when choosing a night guard, according to Brijesh Chandwani, D.M.D., an attending dentist at St. Barnabas Hospital, based in Bronx, New York. Fit and Comfort Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can happen day or night. But sleep bruxism is much harder to treat since many of us don’t even know we’re doing it. The condition is often only detected when seeking treatment for symptoms like headaches, facial or jaw pain, or worn-down teeth — or if a bed partner notices the grinding sound. And ignoring it won’t make it go away. Instead, it can lead to serious oral issues, including loss of enamel, tooth sensitivity, and a proclivity for cavities, according to Dr. Rashmi Ambewadikar of Astoria Smiles Pediatric Dentistry.

This dental guard type does not require you to send an impression to your dentist. Instead, the model instructs users on how to boil the dental guard, remove it using tongs, and hold it under cold water. Oral B nighttime dental guard works in a similar manner. This is perhaps the easiest and most convenient variety to use because it gives the comfort of a customized dental guard with the convenience of at-home customization. Mail-in Custom Here are some common questions and answers regarding mouthguards. How long does it take to get used to a mouthguard? Boil-and-bite: Made from thermoplastic material that softens in hot water, the owner submerges the mouth guard in boiling water, then allows it to cool enough to bites down on it to create a customized impression. While these are not as advanced as individual custom models, they are far more affordable.

What is a boil-and-bite mouthguard?If you suspect that you’re grinding your teeth at night, the best thing to do is visit a dentist for a full evaluation. In the meantime, or if your grinding seems to be associated with periods of high stress or poor sleep, an over-the-counter (OTC) mouth guard might help as a short-term solution (two weeks to a month). But the experts I spoke to emphasize that these are not recommended for long-term use. Aside from damage, the act of teeth grinding can have other painful effects like headaches and jaw pain, according to the American Dental Association. Dental practitioners typically recommend night guards to limit one’s habit of bruxism (the clinical term for teeth grinding), easing the harmful consequences that come with it until the patient gets proper treatment for underlying conditions.
