Mouth Guards at 82 Dental
Night guards and sports guards are two types of oral appliances that are commonly recommended by dentists for different purposes.
Night Guards
Night guards, also known as occlusal guards or bite splints, are protective devices designed to be worn during sleep. They are typically made of a durable, yet comfortable material and custom-fitted to your mouth. Night guards are recommended for individuals who suffer from bruxism, which is the clenching or grinding of teeth during sleep. Bruxism can lead to various dental issues such as tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. Night guards provide a cushioning effect, absorbing the forces exerted by grinding or clenching, and protecting the teeth and jaw joints from damage. They help alleviate the symptoms associated with bruxism and promote better oral health.
Sports Guards
Sports guards, also known as mouth guards, are protective devices primarily used during sports and athletic activities. They are made of a flexible material that is designed to fit over your teeth and gums, providing a barrier against impact or injury to the mouth, teeth, and surrounding structures. Sports guards are highly recommended for individuals participating in contact sports or activities with a high risk of dental trauma. They help prevent injuries such as broken teeth, lip and cheek lacerations, and jaw fractures. Wearing a sports guard can significantly reduce the severity of dental injuries and potentially save you from painful and costly dental treatments.

Who Needs a Mouth Guard?
Both night guards and sports guards are recommended by dentists to protect your teeth, jaw, and overall oral health. They are custom-made to ensure a proper fit and maximum protection. If you have bruxism or engage in sports or physical activities that pose a risk of dental trauma, consulting with your dentist about the appropriate guard for your needs is highly recommended. We will assess your situation and provide you with the most suitable guard to help safeguard your oral well-being.
