Night Guards and Sports Mouthguards Serve Different Purposes
A night guard is worn during sleep to create a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth. It may help protect teeth from damage associated with grinding or clenching. A sports mouthguard is worn during athletic activity to cushion the teeth and oral tissues and help reduce the risk and severity of sports-related dental injuries.
Although both appliances cover the teeth, they are designed for different situations and should not be used interchangeably. Learn more about the difference between a night guard and a sports mouthguard.
At Eagle Family Dentistry, we assess your teeth, bite, symptoms and activity before recommending a custom-fitted appliance. The design and material selected will depend on the intended use, clinical findings, fit and comfort.
Custom Night Guards for Grinding and Clenching
If you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping, a dentist may recommend a custom night guard after examining your teeth and bite. The appliance creates a physical barrier between the upper and lower teeth and may help protect them from wear or damage. A night guard does not necessarily address the underlying cause of grinding, so an individual assessment is important.
During a dental exam in Newmarket, we can check for signs of tooth wear or damage and determine whether a night guard or another approach may be appropriate. When recommended, the appliance is fitted to your teeth and bite, with instructions provided for use and care.
Custom Sports Mouthguards for Athletic Activity
A custom sports mouthguard is designed to be worn during athletic activity where the teeth, lips, cheeks or jaw may be exposed to impact. It cushions the teeth and oral tissues and may help reduce the incidence and severity of sports-related dental injuries. No mouthguard can prevent every injury, so it should be used together with the other protective equipment recommended for the activity.
We assess the athlete’s teeth, bite and intended activity before selecting the appliance design and material. A properly fitted sports mouthguard should remain secure during use while allowing the athlete to breathe and communicate comfortably. We also provide instructions for cleaning, storage and checking the appliance for wear or changes in fit.
Get a Custom Mouthguard Designed for Your Needs
Whether you need a night guard for grinding or clenching, or a sports mouthguard for athletic activity, the appropriate design depends on your teeth, bite and intended use. Book an assessment at Eagle Family Dentistry to discuss which custom-fitted option may be suitable for you.
What to Expect When Getting a Custom Mouthguard
Your appointment begins with a review of your teeth, bite, symptoms and intended use. Depending on the type of appliance and the clinical findings, an impression or digital scan may be taken to help create a mouthguard that fits your teeth.
When the appliance is ready, the fit and comfort should be checked before regular use. We provide instructions for wearing, cleaning and storing the mouthguard, along with guidance on when it should be reassessed or replaced.
Bring the appliance to future dental appointments if the fit changes, it becomes damaged or you notice new symptoms. Children and teenagers may require more frequent fit checks as their teeth and jaws develop.
