Night guards

Soft night guard

Flexible, cushioned protection for mild to moderate bruxism.

Best for: Patients with mild to moderate bruxism, or minor TMJD

A soft night guard is made from a flexible rubber material that cushions the teeth. It is intended for patients with mild to moderate bruxism, or minor temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD), and the flexibility makes it comfortable to wear and easy to get used to.

The softer, slightly gummy feel can tempt some patients to chew on the guard, which shortens its lifespan, and it does not protect against pronounced grinding as well as a hard guard does. The dentist assesses the severity of the grinding, and the patient's habits, before deciding which guard to prescribe.
