Sports guards are a protective device that are fabricated to protect your teeth during contact sports. These guards help to prevent damage caused by getting hit in the face by acting as a shock absorber. Commonly made of thermoplastic materials, they come in a variety of colours to choose from.
Night guards are a device fabricated to protect your teeth from clenching and grinding (bruxism) at night time. The prevention of clenching and grinding can help alleviate TMD, a painful condition that can be caused from night time bruxism. Night guards can also prevent mild to severe tooth wear that can result in fractured and broken teeth, an unstable jaw due to the flattening of the tooth structure, and undesired aesthetics due to loss of tooth height over time. Commonly made of acrylic/plastic materials, these guards are made to fit your mouth as discreetly and comfortably as possible.
