Night guard FAQ
Clear answers about comfort, cleaning, and how a night guard helps protect your smile.
How do I know if I grind my teeth at night
Common signs include worn or chipped teeth, morning jaw soreness, tension headaches, tooth sensitivity, or a partner hearing grinding. We can also identify wear patterns during an exam.
Can I use an over the counter night guard instead
Store bought guards may feel bulky or fit unevenly. A custom guard is designed for your bite and typically offers a more comfortable, stable fit and better protection.
Will a night guard stop grinding
A guard primarily protects your teeth and helps reduce stress on the jaw. Some people also notice fewer symptoms over time, especially when bite forces are more evenly distributed.

Rinse after use, brush gently with a soft brush, and store it dry in its case. We can recommend cleaning products based on your guard material.
