A custom-moulded plastic appliance you wear at night to protect your teeth from grinding damage, relieve jaw soreness, and prevent enamel wear.
A night guard (also called occlusal splint or bruxism appliance) is a thin, custom-fitted dental appliance worn over the upper or lower teeth during sleep. It absorbs the force of teeth grinding (bruxism), prevents tooth wear and chipping, reduces jaw muscle soreness, and protects expensive dental work like crowns and veneers. Custom dental night guards last 3–5 years, far longer than over-the-counter versions.

Dental impressions or 3D scan of your bite
Custom fabrication in dental lab (1 week)
Fitting visit, adjustments for comfort and accurate occlusion
Wear at night; clean with toothbrush and store dry between uses
6-month check-up to assess wear pattern + jaw comfort
