Night Guard (Splint Soft): Protection for Your Teeth While You Sleep
A soft night guard, also known as a splint, is a dental appliance worn over the teeth at night to protect them from grinding (bruxism) and clenching. At DERMA & DENTAL CLINIC, we offer custom-fitted soft night guards designed to provide relief from jaw pain, reduce teeth grinding, and protect your teeth from wear and damage.
What is a Night Guard (Splint Soft)?
A night guard is a soft, flexible appliance that fits comfortably over your upper or lower teeth while you sleep. It helps to cushion your teeth and jaw, preventing them from grinding or clenching during the night. This appliance is typically made from a soft, durable material that absorbs pressure and helps to alleviate the strain on your teeth and jaw muscles.
How a Night Guard Works:
Consultation: The dentist assesses your oral health to determine if a night guard is necessary.
Impressions: Impressions of your teeth are taken to create a custom-fitted night guard that will comfortably fit your bite.
Fitting: Once the night guard is created, it is placed in your mouth, and any adjustments are made to ensure comfort.
Wearing: You wear the night guard while sleeping to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching.

Health Tips & Info
Wearing a night guard regularly can help protect your teeth from long-term damage and reduce the strain on your jaw. Be sure to follow proper care instructions to keep your night guard in optimal condition and maintain good oral health.
A night guard acts as a barrier between your teeth, preventing them from grinding against each other during sleep. It absorbs the pressure and protects your teeth from wear and damage caused by bruxism (teeth grinding).
A soft night guard can last anywhere from 1 to 3 years, depending on how often it is used and how well it is cared for. With proper maintenance and cleaning, it can provide long-term protection for your teeth.
A soft night guard is designed to be comfortable. It is custom-fitted to your teeth, providing a snug and secure fit. Initially, there may be some adjustment required, but most users report little discomfort after the first few nights of wear.
