What Are Night Guards & Sport Guards?

Night guards are dental appliances designed to prevent teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep. Sports guards, on the other hand, are worn during physical activities to protect teeth from injury due to impact.

Both types of guards can be custom-made to provide comfortable and effective protection for your teeth.

Why You Might Need a Night Guard or Sport Guard

There are many reasons why someone may need a night guard or sport guard. Some of the most common include:

Bruxism (teeth grinding): Protects against tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches caused by grinding or clenching at night.
Sleep apnea & snoring: Helps reposition the jaw to alleviate symptoms of sleep apnea or chronic snoring.
Sports & physical activity: Shields your teeth from injury during contact sports or high-risk activities.
Jaw joint disorders (TMD): Eases pressure and discomfort from TMJ dysfunction and other jaw issues.
Preventing tooth damage: Acts as a barrier to prevent long-term damage from grinding and clenching.

Benefits of Custom Night Guards & Sport Guards

While over-the-counter guards are available, custom night and sport guards offer a better fit and greater comfort. Here’s why you should consider a custom guard from Sunshine Dental:

Personalized fit: Custom-made guards are moulded to fit the unique shape of your teeth for a more comfortable and effective fit.
Durability: Custom guards are made from quality materials that are designed to last longer and provide better protection than store-bought options.
Comfort: Our custom guards are designed to be as comfortable as possible, making it easier for you to wear them regularly without irritation or discomfort.

What to Expect When Getting a Custom Night or Sport Guard

The process of getting a custom guard at Sunshine Dental is simple and quick:

Initial consultation: During your first visit, we will assess your needs and discuss whether a night guard or sport guard is right for you.
Impressions: We will take digital impressions of your teeth to create a precise mould. This helps us check that the guard fits perfectly.
Fabrication: The impressions are sent to a dental lab where your custom guard is created.
Fitting: Once your guard is ready, we will check that it fits comfortably and make any necessary adjustments.

Caring for Your Night Guard or Sport Guard

To get the most out of your night or sport guard, proper care is essential. Here are some general good practices to follow:

Cleaning: Rinse your guard with lukewarm water after each use. You can also clean it with a mild soap.
Storage: Keep your guard in a clean, dry case when it’s not in use to prevent damage.
Checkups: We recommend periodic checkups to check that your guard still fits properly and is in good condition.
