MOUTH, NIGHT AND SPORTS GUARDS

Providing protection for those who experience issues with their jaw and are grinding their teeth, and peace of mind for active kids and adults.

What is night guard or sports guard?

A guard used to protect a patient’s teeth from being chipped or broken is made through a custom fitting process. Our Toronto Dental Studio uses digital technology to create the scan of your mouth, instead of making a physical dental impression with gooey impression material, enhancing a patient’s comfort level during the process. The scan gets sent electronically to our lab, reducing wait time (and our carbon footprint). Our lab fabricates a custom fit guard for patients to wear.

Who should use a night or sports guard?

People who experience issues with clenching their jaw and/or grinding their teeth can benefit from the use of a mouth/night guard. Using a dental appliance can reduce the impact of the following issues related to teeth-grinding including extreme jaw pain; eroded teeth surfaces, fractured enamel, extreme sensitivity, and headaches.

Active patients who participate in all kinds of contact sports can protect their teeth by using sports guard.

  • Dental appliances such as guards are often worn at night to prevent damage to the teeth. Patients who grind their teeth, or who unintentionally bite down too hard when they sleep, can cause themselves pain and incur irreversible damage to their teeth.
