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.

This really depends. Everyone grinds their teeth differently so your night guard can last anywhere from 6 months to  5 years or more. All night guards will wear out eventually, but the most important factor in a lasting night guard is to properly match your grinding severity with the right type. 

If you need help choosing, you can take our quick quiz to see which one is right for you. If you're still unsure which to pick, give us a shout and we'll help make a personalized recommendation.
