REAL Night Guard vs. Over-the-Counter ๐ฌ๐ฆท
If you grind or clench your teeth at night (hello stress ๐), not all night guards are created equal.
๐ฆท Custom Night Guard (Dental-Made)
โ๏ธ Made from precise impressions of your bite
โ๏ธ Even pressure distribution
โ๏ธ Protects enamel, crowns, veneers & implants
โ๏ธ Designed for long-term wear and comfort
โ ๏ธ Over-the-Counter Night Guard
โ๏ธ One-size-fits-most
โ๏ธ Can alter your bite over time
โ๏ธ Bulky, uncomfortable, wears down faster
โ๏ธ May increase jaw pain or clenching
๐ก The truth: OTC guards can help short-term, but theyโre not designed to protect complex dental work or your jaw health long-term.
Your smile is an investment โ protect it wisely.
