Night Guard – Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep
What Is a Night Guard?
A night guard, also called an occlusal guard or dental splint, is a custom-fitted oral appliance designed to protect your teeth from grinding (bruxism) and clenching while you sleep. It acts as a protective barrier, preventing tooth damage, jaw pain, headaches, and TMJ disorders.
At AA Dental Studio, we offer custom night guards tailored for maximum comfort and protection to help you maintain a healthy, pain-free smile.
Types of Night Guards & Materials Used
1. Soft Night Guard
- Made from pliable, flexible material.
- Best for mild bruxism or occasional clenching.
- Provides comfort and cushioning.
2. Hard Night Guard
- Made from acrylic or hard plastic.
- Ideal for moderate to severe teeth grinding.
- More durable and long-lasting than soft guards.
3. Dual-Layer Night Guard
- Hybrid design – soft inner layer for comfort, hard outer layer for durability.
- Recommended for moderate bruxism with occasional clenching.
4. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Night Guards
- Available at pharmacies, but less effective than custom-made guards.
- Not as comfortable or long-lasting.
