JS Dental Lab Hybrid Shield Night Guard

Most over-the-counter guards are made of a single, uniform material that can feel bulky or uncomfortable. The Hybrid Shield uses a dual-laminate design: a firm outer shell to resist grinding forces and a soft, pliable inner layer that cushions your teeth for a more comfortable, personalized fit.

The Hybrid Shield is specifically engineered for mild to moderate grinding. If you have severe bruxism or have been advised by a dentist that you need a heavy-duty appliance, you may require a thicker or more rigid guard.

No, this product is not compatible with braces. The custom-molding process requires a precise impression of your teeth, which braces would interfere with, and the guard is designed to fit your natural tooth structure.

You will receive an at-home impression kit with the product. You simply follow the included instructions to create a mold of your teeth, mail it back using the provided materials, and your custom-fitted guard will be crafted and shipped to you.

Yes, the Hybrid Shield is made from FDA-cleared materials that are both BPA-free and latex-free, ensuring they are safe for long-term, nightly wear.

The guard is 3 mm thick, which strikes a balance between durability and comfort. While it is thicker than a thin retainer, the custom-molded fit ensures it stays securely in place without the excessive bulk often found in generic, boil-and-bite options.
