A Custom Comfort Night Guard consists of a clear, soft (on the under side) & hard acrylic plastic on the outer side; this is the brand new Advanced Dual-Laminate or ADL Night Guard. This bonded polymer has only been in existence since 2009 due to the advancements in plastic technology. One would wear this to relieve tooth grinding and clenching when asleep or in stressful situations. This night mouth guard fits comfortably over either the UPPER or LOWER teeth only.
It is 3mm thick and will allow an individual to completely close their mouth while asleep, unlike other bruxism mouth guards. The night guard is made of exactly the same material dentists/orthodontist use to prepare their devices for patients with bruxism & may also be used to prevent teeth migration or rotation (act as a retainer). The cost of a nightguard prepared by a dentist/orthodontist will range from $400.00 to $800.00!

I just want to let you know how pleased I am with the night guard. I've been wearing it for a couple of week. It is so comfortable I forget it is there, and can easily talk with it in. I previously had one done at my dentist office, I paid substantially more for, sometimes during the night I'd have to remove it. Comparing it, the edges were sharp and did not fit all the way to the back, definitely not as comfortable as this one!
Thank your technicians for doing such a great job.

Our Custom Comfort Night Guard is smaller, more durable and much more comfortable than the “boil & bite” (thermoform) nightguard types found at the store, due simply because these are specifically customized to that particular individual. This is the most advanced dual-polymer plastic, that I've ever seen...please understand this is a brand new product, not one that you're used to or have seen used.

Advance Dual-Laminate Night Guard (ADL) - Our ADL Night Guard is 66% more durable than the standard soft laminate night guards but just as comfortable. It is as strong as the acrylic nightguards, but is far more comfortable. It is a unique combination of two materials formed into a single laminated sheet.
The outside of the night guard is made of an increased tensile strength material designed for strength and durability, while the inside of the night guard is a soft yielding composite designed for comfort & adaptability. The harder, outside surface assures long-lasting wear, while the inside, soft liner assures comfort secure fit. The advanced dual laminate hard/soft night guard is ideal for light and moderate nighttime grinding and clenching.

Here's how it works:
When you receive your kit, review the steps and instructions first. Then take out 1 set of the YELLOW & BLUE impression material (putty).
Mix the two pieces of putty together for 45 seconds to get one solid color (blue).
When your putty is one solid color, simply roll it and shape it like a finger. Pick up your tray.
Put the finger shaped putty into the tray, making sure to cover all parts of the tray.
Take the tray and place it over the center of your upper or lower teeth (remember that this putty will harden in under two (2) minutes). Push the tray over your teeth. Hold for four (4) minutes, then remove.

What Is Bruxism, TMJ?
Bruxism is the technical term for teeth grinding and clenching that abrades teeth and may cause facial pain. People who grind and clench, often called bruxers, unintentionally bite down too hard at inappropriate times, such as during sleep. Many people are unaware that they even have bruxism since it often occurs while they're sleeping. If you wake up with dull headaches or vise-like pain, you may be one of many people suffering from bruxism. Your dentist can usually detect the telltale signs of bruxism on your teeth.
Bruxism can either directly or indirectly cause many problems. Grinding can cause teeth to become painful or loose. Patients can literally grind away parts of their teeth, leaving them with worn surfaces or fractured enamel. People who have otherwise healthy teeth and gums can clench so often and so hard that over time their teeth become sensitive and they experience jaw pain and headaches. Forceful biting when not eating may cause the jaw to move out of proper balance.
Grinding is a common occurrence among many people at some time or another. If you develop facial pain, fatigue or other problems, treatment may be needed. Talk with your dentist if you suspect that you are grinding your teeth. During regular dental visits, they usually check for physical signs of bruxism. When a person has bruxism, the tips of the teeth look flat. Teeth are worn down so much that the enamel is rubbed off, exposing the inside of the tooth, which is called dentin. When exposed, dentin may become sensitive. Bruxers may experience pain in their temporomandibular joint (TMJ), or the jaw, which may manifest itself as popping and clicking. One out of every 10 Americans suffers from chronic headaches, and spend over half a billion dollars every year for over-the-counter medications to relieve their pain. TMJ may cause headaches as a result of a bad bite. A bad bite can put your jaw-to-skull relationship out of alignment.
When this happens, TMJ symptoms occur. This cluster of TMJ symptoms can include: headaches, earaches, ear ringing, loud jaw clicking, even stiffness and pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders and back.
Non- surgical therapies for both bruxism and TMJ may include the wearing of an occlusal splint/nightguard to prevent wear and tear on both the teeth and the joints.
If you suffer from bruxism and TMJ, or your dentist has suggested the use of a night guard/occlusal splint, we can help. You Can Order a night guard directly from our lab and save hundred of dollars. No dentist needed.

What is bruxism (teeth grinding & clenching)?
Bruxism is the technical term for grinding and clenching that abrades teeth and may cause facial pain. People who grind and clench, often called bruxers, unintentionally bite down too hard at inappropriate times, such as during sleep.

People who have otherwise healthy teeth and gums can clench so often and so hard that over time their teeth become sensitive and they experience jaw pain and headaches.

What are the signs of bruxism?
Grinding is a common occurrence among many people at some time or another. If you develop facial pain, fatigue or other problems, treatment may be needed. Talk with your dentist if you suspect that you are grinding your teeth. During regular dental visits, they usually check for physical signs of bruxism. When a person has bruxism, the tips of the teeth look flat. Teeth are worn down so much that the enamel is rubbed off, exposing the inside of the tooth, which is called dentin. When exposed, dentin may become sensitive. Bruxers may experience pain in their temporomandibular joint (TMJ), or the jaw, which may manifest itself as popping and clicking. Tongue indentations are another sign of clenching. Stress and certain personality types are more often affected by bruxism. For as long as humankind has existed, bruxism has affected people with nervous tension. Anger, pain and frustration can trigger bruxing. People who are aggressive, competitive, and hurried also may be at greater risk for bruxism. Incidentally, women have a higher prevalence of bruxism, possibly because they are more likely to experience tissue alterations in the jaw.
What causes bruxism?
More research is needed to determine the exact cause of bruxism, but it is thought that both emotional and physical factors are involved. Some of the contributing factors may be stress or sleep disorders, an abnormal bite, or crooked or missing teeth.
What can be done about bruxism?
There are a number of ways to treat bruxism. Your dentist will determine which single treatment or combination of treatments is right for you. When stress is the major cause of bruxism, you must find ways to relax. People who have difficulty handling stress may need to seek counseling, or the dentist may prescribe muscle relaxants to relax jaw muscles. Many times a night guard can prevent grinding from occurring during sleep. To help alleviate muscle pain, physical therapy may be needed. The objective of therapy is to get the bruxer to change behavior by learning how to rest the tongue, teeth and lips properly. When some people become aware of their problem, simply advising them to rest their tongue upward with teeth apart and lips shut may be enough to change their behavior and relieve discomfort.

Have you ever been told that you grind your teeth? Maybe you need a grinding tooth guard. Tooth grinding (bruxism) is an oral habit which involves clenching and grinding the teeth. It is not uncommon in our society. Approximately 50% of adults experience bruxism. 15% of children acquire this behavior. Most often, this habit goes by unnoticed by the person. Bruxism can occur during the day or night.
What causes bruxism?
This condition has no specific cause, but is believed to be a combination of many factors, such as:
· emotional stress
· personalities characterized as aggressive, controlling, precise, or who have time urgency and achievement compulsion tend to develop bruxism
· malocclusion (teeth are not aligned properly)
· children whose parents brux are more likely to develop this habit than children whose parents do not brux
Signs of bruxism:
· tooth wear, fractures of the teeth and fillings, especially on the front teeth
· grinding noise noticed by a sleeping partner
· facial muscle pain and fatigue
· locking, cracking, and clicking of the jaws
· headaches
· tooth mobility
· sensitive teeth
Bruxism treatment:
· your oral health professional, your dental hygienist or dentist can make you aware of the habit and suggest behavioral therapies to stop the bruxism
· stress reduction and coping techniques can be initiated to reduce the emotional stress you may be experiencing
· a removable intra-oral appliance can be made for you. The grinding tooth guard protects the teeth from the forces of clenching or grinding the teeth together. A bruxism mouth guard or nightguard is more practical for treating the night bruxer than for those who have daytime clenching and grinding habits.
If you think you may be experiencing this oral problem, see your oral health professional.

SilenSnor® is worn during sleep. It uses normal body reflexes to keep the airway open. The device fits snugly on the upper teeth. When the lower jaw closes, the lower teeth close onto the lower ramp of the SilenSnor. This keeps the jaw in a normal position, rather than sagging open and back. In addition, the tongue reflexively seeks the small center orifice between the upper and lower ramp. This reflex keeps if from sagging back into the throat. With the airway open, breathing is relaxed and normal during sleep. Your lower jaw is in an advanced position, not normal.
SilenSnor® mouthpiece devices -- also known as dental appliances, or mandibular advancement splints -- have been effective for many people who snore, including those suffering from mild or moderate obstructive sleep apnea. They are usually small plastic devices worn in the mouth during sleep to prevent the soft throat tissues from collapsing and obstructing the airway. They do this by bringing your lower jaw forward and/or by lifting your soft palate. Some devices also stop the tongue from falling back over your windpipe.
Your dentist will usually be the one to fit these special appliances to meet your individual condition. Typically they will take a mold of your mouth and then either send off for a custom nightguard or fashion it themselves.
Users of SilenSnor® report significant improvement of sleep quality, and a return of symptoms when it's not used.
