What Is a Mouth Guard?

A mouth guard (also known as a dental night guard, bite guard, or sports guard) is a custom-fitted oral appliance worn over the teeth. Depending on its use, it may protect against grinding (bruxism), clenching, sports injuries, or even TMJ-related pain.

Unlike over-the-counter versions, our professionally crafted guards are made using 3D impressions for a precise fit, long-lasting comfort, and better results.

Who Needs a Mouth Guard?

You may benefit from a custom mouth guard if you:

• Grind or clench your teeth at night (bruxism)
• Experience jaw pain or tension (TMJ disorder)
• Participate in high-impact sports
• Have dental restorations you want to protect
• Wake up with headaches or jaw fatigue
• Are undergoing orthodontic treatment and need added protection

Types of Mouth Guards Offered

1. Night Guards (for Bruxism)

These thin yet durable guards cushion your teeth during sleep, reducing the damage from grinding and easing tension in the jaw.

• Custom fit for maximum comfort
• Reduces enamel wear and fractures
• Helps relieve morning headaches or sore jaws

2. TMJ Mouth Guards

Designed to slightly reposition the jaw, these guards help reduce stress on the temporomandibular joint and minimize clenching-related pain.

• Used to treat mild to moderate TMJ disorders
• May reduce clicking, popping, and facial pain

3. Sports Mouth Guards

Recommended for anyone playing contact sports like soccer, basketball, boxing, or martial arts. These thicker guards protect the teeth from trauma.

• Especially important for athletes with braces or dental work
• Custom-made for speech clarity and easy breathing

4. Orthodontic Retainer-Style Guards

If you’re undergoing or finishing orthodontic treatment, we can provide retainers that double as mild night guards or protect your teeth from shifting.
