FAQs

Answers to Your Most Common Dental Questions
  • Why should I get a custom mouth guard instead of a store-bought one?

    Custom guards are designed for your exact bite, making them more effective, durable, and comfortable than over-the-counter options.

  • How long do custom mouth guards last?

    With proper care, most guards last 3–5 years. Athletes and those who grind heavily at night may need replacements sooner.

  • Can mouth guards help with jaw pain or headaches?

    Yes. Night guards reduce strain on the jaw joints caused by clenching and grinding, which can help relieve jaw discomfort and tension headaches.

  • How do I take care of my mouth guard?

    Rinse after each use, brush gently with a soft toothbrush, and store it in a ventilated case. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material.
