The wrong night guard may cause your teeth to shift, which could possibly lead to the development of a crooked smile. Both prevent grinding by creating a barrier between your teeth, so you can make a decision based on your dentist’s recommendation or comfort.

If the night guard doesn’t fit quite right, repeat the process by starting over with the boiling water. While costly, these mouth guards produce excellent results providing the most comfort and protection. This pack comes with different thicknesses for varying degrees of grinding, so one can pick the one that is most comfortable for their individual mouth,” she says.The guard’s lower rubber frame absorbs the shock when you bite and diffuses it in the direction of your strongest teeth.

Nocturnal bruxism – the official term for grinding your teeth at night – may come from stress or an abnormal bite.
