Mouth Guard, Sports Guards, and Night Guards
Guards
Sometimes we need to wear a mouth piece that will help protect our teeth, cheeks, and tongue from trauma. These guards are used daily, during sports, or even during the night.

What is the difference between mouth, sports, and night guards?
A sports guard is the most different of the group. It typically is made from a soft, thicker material. This is effective for sports because the thick and soft guard absorbs and dissipates impact forces more effectively.
Mouth and night guards are similar and interchangeable. The difference being the time when it is used: either at night or during the day.
Why do I need a mouth/night guard?
A mouth/night guard has been recommended because you show signs of clenching or grinding. The most characteristic feature of clenching and grinding is sharp, flat surfaces of the teeth. These occur on both the upper and lower teeth, and are called wear facets.
