Custom Mouthguards and Night Guards

Custom dental mouthguards in Dubai for suitable sports protection or managing the effects of tooth grinding and clenching.

What are custom dental guards?

Custom guards are removable dental appliances made from an impression or scan of the teeth. Sports mouthguards are designed to reduce the risk of dental injury, while night guards are commonly used to protect teeth and restorations from the effects of grinding or clenching.

A night guard protects tooth surfaces but does not necessarily stop bruxism or treat every cause of jaw pain.

Who may benefit from a night guard?

  • Patients with signs of tooth grinding or clenching
  • People with unexplained tooth wear or small fractures
  • Patients who frequently damage restorations
  • People with morning jaw-muscle fatigue
  • Patients advised to protect veneers, crowns or other restorations

How is a custom guard made?

  1. The teeth, gums, bite and existing restorations are examined.
  2. An impression or digital scan is taken.
  3. The appliance is fabricated for the selected purpose.
  4. The fit and bite are checked and adjusted.
  5. Instructions for wearing, cleaning and storage are provided.

Sports guard or night guard?

These appliances have different designs and should not automatically be used interchangeably. A sports mouthguard is intended for impact protection, while a night guard is designed around grinding, clenching and bite requirements.

Care and replacement

Rinse the guard after use, clean it according to instructions, allow it to dry and store it in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water that may distort the material.

Bring the appliance to regular dental check-ups. Replacement may be needed if it becomes worn, damaged, loose or uncomfortable.
