Here you can find answers to our most commonly asked questions. If you have any further questions or can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please contact us and we’ll make sure you get the information you need to make a confident decision about your dental health!

How often should I replace my night guard?

The lifespan of a night guard depends on the severity of your bruxism and the material of the guard. On average, night guards last between 3 to 5 years, but it’s essential to bring your guard to your dental appointments for regular checks. If you notice signs of wear, cracks, or discomfort, it’s time to consider a replacement.

Can wearing a night guard change my bite?

A properly fitted night guard should not change your bite. It is designed to protect your teeth without altering your natural bite alignment. Our custom night guards are carefully crafted to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that does not interfere with your bite or jaw position.
