SportingSmiles Night Guard

You will receive an impression kit in the mail containing putty and trays. You create a mold of your teeth at home, mail it back using the provided prepaid envelope, and our lab uses that mold to craft your custom-fitted guard.

Yes, the 3mm soft EVA material is specifically engineered to absorb the impact of heavy clenching and grinding. While it offers a flexible, comfortable feel, it is robust enough to protect your enamel from nightly wear.

By creating a cushioned barrier between your upper and lower teeth, this guard helps relax the jaw muscles throughout the night. Many users find that this significantly reduces tension-related headaches and jaw soreness upon waking.

Lifespan varies depending on the intensity of your grinding. On average, a custom-fitted soft guard lasts several months to a year, though heavy grinders may notice wear sooner.

This specific guard is designed to be worn on either the upper or lower arch, depending on your preference and where your dentist has advised you to protect your teeth. You will specify your preference during the impression process.

We recommend rinsing your guard with cool water after each use and gently brushing it with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid using hot water, as it can warp the material and affect the custom fit.
