What are Night Guards and Sport Guards?

A nightguard is a custom appliance worn for sleep that protects teeth from wear due to grinding or clenching. This will also help with jaw pain and headaches. It cushions your teeth and reduces pressure while you rest.

A sports guard is the mouthguard that is worn during sports to avoid tooth breakage. Custom-fit sport guards hug your mouth for easy breathing and speaking while protecting your smile.
