Which One Do You Need?
Each is made for a different job. Your dentist will say which, and whether anything else needs treating first.
Night Guard
A slim guard worn in bed that takes the force of grinding and clenching off your teeth, and protects fillings, crowns, veneers and bonding (£210).
Hard Occlusal Splint
A rigid, precisely adjusted splint for heavier grinding, worn teeth or jaw-joint pain, which also settles the jaw muscles (from £620).
Sports Mouthguard
Custom-fitted for rugby, football, hockey, boxing and martial arts. Fits closely enough to talk and breathe in, which is why it gets worn (£190).
Anti-Snoring Device
A mandibular advancement device that holds the lower jaw slightly forward in sleep to keep the airway open, for simple snoring (from £620).
Retainers
Essix retainers to hold straightened teeth (£214 one arch), and Vivera retainers, included with every Invisalign package.
Protecting Dental Work
Veneers, bonding, crowns and implant teeth all last longer under a guard if you grind.
Signs You Grind or Clench
Most people who grind don't know it. The teeth and jaw give it away.
How It Works
Examination
Your teeth, bite and jaw joints are checked for signs of wear and strain, and we rule out anything else that needs treating first.
Scan
A digital iTero Lumina scan of both arches; no putty impressions. The guard is made in a dental laboratory from the scan.
Fitting
The guard is tried in and adjusted so it sits comfortably and your teeth meet evenly on it.
Review
A check after a few weeks that it's doing its job, and adjustments if needed.
Shop Guard or Custom?
A boil-and-bite guard from a chemist is better than nothing for one night. It's bulky, moves, and most people stop wearing it within weeks, which is the real problem: a guard only works while it's in. A custom guard from a scan is thin, stays put, and is adjusted so your bite is even on it.
A night guard protects teeth from the damage of grinding; it doesn't stop you grinding. Where stress, sleep or a jaw-joint problem is driving it, we'll say so. A hard occlusal splint, adjusted over several visits, is the next step for jaw pain and heavy wear.
Snoring devices suit simple snoring. Loud snoring with pauses in breathing, gasping or daytime sleepiness can be obstructive sleep apnoea, which needs assessment by your GP or a sleep clinic first; a dental device can then be part of the treatment.
