Mouthguards & Night Guards
Custom-fitted guards — for the field, and for grinding at night.
Both kinds of guard are the same idea: a shield made to your bite rather than to an average one. What differs is when you wear it, and what it is protecting you from.
Sports mouthguards
Accidents happen fast in contact sport, and teeth, gums, and jaw are all at risk. Unlike bulky over-the-counter guards, a custom guard fits your teeth precisely — which makes it more comfortable, more secure, and more likely to actually be worn.
Who needs one
- Children and adults playing contact sport — football, basketball, rugby, hockey, martial arts
- Patients with braces or orthodontic appliances (special designs available)
- Anyone at risk of a knock to the mouth
Night guards for grinding
Teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching usually happen at night, often without you knowing. Over time it wears enamel, cracks teeth, and causes jaw pain, headaches, and disturbed sleep.
A custom night guard protects the teeth and relieves strain on the jaw. Fitted precisely to your bite, it is comfortable enough to sleep in.
Signs you may need a night guard
- Worn, chipped, or cracked teeth
- Morning headaches or jaw pain
- Sore or tight jaw muscles
- Tooth sensitivity from enamel wear
- Disturbed sleep from grinding sounds
What a custom guard does
- Prevents enamel wear, cracks, and fractures
- Reduces jaw pain and muscle strain
- Protects existing dental work such as crowns and veneers
- Lasts longer and fits better than a store-bought guard
