The Hard Night Guard is our strongest and most durable night guard designed and suited for heavy grinders and clenchers. The rigid surface acts as a extremely effective protective barrier for grinding forces of your teeth and is made out of a hard elasticized copolyester material, approximately 2mm thick. Due to the rigid nature of the material, it will be a tighter fit and therefore slightly less comfortable than other types, but will provide the strongest protection and durability from grinding.
Let's talk material science. Through the years, we've tested nearly every possible type of night guard material to carefully curate what we think are the safest and most advanced materials worthy of being in your mouth for hours on end.
In fact, we go the extra mile (and cost), to source and import our materials from Germany since EU consumer and product safety standards are higher there than in the US.
Our commitment to quality extends to the way we make your night guard.
We start by 3D scanning your impression - accurate to 4 microns - carefully mapping out your dentition for the best fit. Our certified lab technician then skillfully fabricates your night guard by hand. We consider every facet, contour every edge, and polish every surface. Oh, and we do this all right at home in California (not in an outsourced factory somewhere - ahem we won't name names).
So, it's both art and science. The best of old school craftsmanship and new school innovation.
Great question! This is really up to you, and mostly a matter of personal preference.
Most people find the Upper night guard to be slightly more comfortable since it's less in the way of the tongue. For a better fit, we also recommend choosing the set of teeth that is straighter or has had less dental work done.
You can generally expect your custom made night guard to land on your doorstep about a week or so after we receive your impression.
As it's hand made, we take about 2-3 business days to create your night guard and another 3-4 days for shipping. Shipping is free all 3 ways but if you'd like to speed things up, there are faster shipping options at checkout or you can take advantage of the Fast Track option, where we can turnaround your night guard within 24 hours. Please expect minor delays during peak holiday times.
Great question, but tricky to answer. This really depends on how heavily you grind or clench your teeth and which night guard you choose.
Depending on your level of grinding, your night guard can last anywhere from 4 months to as long as 4+ years. That's why it's important to choose the best version of the night guard to properly match your grinding or clenching. As an extra guarantee, if your night guard does wear out within 6 months, the replacement is on us!
