The Retainer Night Guard

Save

If you need a retainer but also grind or clench your teeth, this one's for you. The Retainer keeps your teeth in place and prevents them from shifting over time while also protecting them from your grinding or clenching. It's made from a unique, slightly denser material than the Hard night guard and is offered in two variants:

  • Retainer: If you just need a retainer, we recommend the 1mm ultra clear version. This is perfect for after orthodontic work or as an upgrade from the wire and plastic retainers. They're pretty much invisible, easier to clean, and the right thickness for comfort so you'll actually wear them.
  • Retainer Night Guard: If you also grind or clench your teeth, we recommend the 1.5mm version. Though it sounds minor, the increased thickness adds the extra protection and durability needed to absorb your grinding and clenching forces while preserving that perfect smile. This makes it ideal for both teeth retention and teeth grinding.

    Not all night guards are created equal

    When it comes to protecting your teeth, quality matters. Unlike mass-produced alternatives, our night guards are made with high-quality materials and handcrafted with care by our expert technicians.

    • Chomper Labs night guard being held in person's hand.

      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 hundreds of hours.

      In fact, we go the literal 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.

    • 3D model of teeth after being scanned in preparation for making a custom mouth guard.

      Crafting the perfect night guard starts with cutting-edge technology.

      We 3D scan your dental impression - accurate to 4 microns - capturing every detail of your dentition for an unparalleled fit. This precision ensures your night guard is tailored to your unique bite, optimizing both comfort and protection.

      And unlike others, every step happens right here in California—never outsourced.

    • Chomper Labs lab technician created a night guard.

      Beyond technology, expert craftsmanship brings your night guard to life.

      Our certified lab technicians skillfully fabricate each guard by hand - carefully shaping every facet, contouring each edge, and polishing every surface for a flawless finish.

      This meticulous attention to detail ensures not only durability but also a natural, comfortable feel—blending the best of traditional artistry with modern innovation.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    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. 

    We have 4 options  to choose from so you can best match your unique situation with the proper night guard. If you're unsure which to pick, give us a shout and we'll help make a recommendation.

    Assuming your impression comes out great on the first try, it would take approximately 2.5 weeks or so from the time you place your order to having your custom night guard arrive on your doorstep. Here's how everything breaks down:

    • You should receive your impression kit in about 3-4 business days
    • Assuming you made a great impression and sent it in right away, it'll take another 3-4 business days to reach us. 
    • We generally can turnaround your night guard within 3-4 business days, and you should receive it in another 3-4 business days

    If you want to speed things up, here are a couple of options:

    • To receive your kit or night guard faster - select any of the upgraded shipping options at checkout
    • To expedite production of your night guard - choose the "Fast Track" expedited option in the popup in the cart before checkout. For $25, this will put you ahead of the line and guarantee a 24 hour completion time of your night guard
