Frequently Asked Questions

Why might a night guard or other protective appliance be advisable?
Night-time appliances help keep teeth from moving, protect ceramic restorations, and protect teeth from wear damage caused by teeth grinding, clenching, and TMJ problems. Our mouth guard is made of non-latex material worn either during the day or throughout the night to prevent teeth grinding.

Can I talk with this night guard in my mouth?
Absolutely! Custom night guards are not bulky. They're custom-made to fit your individual mouth. Your tongue is not restricted and moves around freely. Our night guards are comfortable to wear while sleeping, plus you can wear them during the day without any restrictions.

Is this a hard acrylic type night guard?
Our night guards are soft and made from FDA-approved energy absorbing laminates. To prevent allergic reactions we use ethyl vinyl acetate to fabricate your mouth guard. An acrylic version is also available. You will definitely notice the comfort level when you wear your new custom night guard.

Is it really simple to take my own impressions at home?
Taking your own impression is not difficult providing you follow our step-by-step instructions. We send along a guide to walk you through the process.  Remember to make an impression of the set of teeth with the least wear.

How long does it take to get my night guards back?
After we receive your impressions, it typically takes us 3-7 working days to custom-make the night guard.

What if they don't fit?
In the event that your night guard does not fit, we'll resend you an impression re-do kit so we can get another impression to remake your night guard.
