Some are the Night guards and few are the Day guards. <br />We make here 4 different kinds of mouth guards. <br />1. The first one is the single layer thin hard night guard; this guard contains 1 to 2 mm of the hard dense protective material. <br />Indications: This is used for night clenching where a less bulky answer is required. <br />2. Second one is the soft flexible night guard; this guard is fabricated from 2 mm of soft comfortable material. <br />Indications: This night guard works well for heavy teeth clenching and less night grinding. <br />If the patient is a moderate to heavy grinder, this cannot tolerate the stress on grinding. <br />3. Third is our most popular dual laminated hard & soft night guard or the flexible night guard for the patients suffering from heavy Bruxism. <br />Indications: <br />This guard is designed for heavy grinding and night clenching. <br /> If your patient is a heavy grinder, then opt for a minimum 3 mm thick, dual laminated, extremely dense material night guard. <br /> <br />4. Our 4th one is the day guard, <br />Which can be worn during the day time in office. <br />It is the dual laminated flexible guard, <br /> This version covers only the Occluasal surfaces of the posteriors. <br />The incisors are not covered labially. <br />This is suitable for the day Bruxism. <br />All the mouth guards or bruxism splints are individually fabricated. <br />A mouth guard covers 2/3rds of the occlusal surfaces of the teeth and will not go up to the gum line. <br />This is to facilitate the salivary flow inter-dentally., and contain the tooth decay. <br />Night guards are worn either on the upper or lower arche, <br />Most people prefer an upper guard over the lower guard, <br />An upper mouth guard comes into less contact with tongue and is easier to remove, <br />Some of the patients feel it easier to sleep with the lower. <br />Both provide same level of protection it is the matter of individual preference.
