Night Guards & Protective Appliances
A protective surface between the arches, spreading the load of clenching and grinding.
What it is
Night guards and protective appliances are custom-fitted dental appliances designed to protect teeth and restorations from excessive forces during clenching and grinding. They provide a controlled protective surface between the upper and lower dentition while helping distribute occlusal forces more evenly. Each appliance can be customised for the patient's dentition, occlusion, comfort and specific clinical requirements, making it suitable for both natural teeth and patients with existing dental restorations.
Where it is used
- Patients with bruxism, clenching or grinding
- Protection of natural teeth against excessive occlusal wear
