Night Guard
What is a Night Guard?
A night guard is a retainer-like plastic piece that can be hard or soft. It covers the biting surfaces and can be for either upper or lower teeth. Since patients have different teeth patterns, a night guard is custom-made for each patient by molding it to fit your teeth without the risk of being uncomfortable or unnecessarily bulky.
A dentist uses professional materials and techniques to come up with a night guard just for you hence are more comfortable. With the proper care and adjustments, these are durable enough to last for several years.
