The SleepRight Night Guard provides a cushion of space between your teeth that will protect them from the destructive forces generated by overactive chewing muscles. Spacing your teeth apart also decompresses the jaw joints (TMJ) and acts as a splint. Splints are appliances often used in the dental surgery as the first line of defence against chronic clenching and grinding.

The SleepRight Night Guard uses natural tissue retention between your lips, cheeks and tongue to be held in place. There are no clasps that attach or fasten to the teeth to hold the appliance in place. The heat sensitive memory strap is soft, smooth and flexible. The front section of the strap lies comfortably between your lower lip and gum.

The SleepRight Night Guard (SRNG) is triple injection moulded, to accommodate soft and hard tissues of the mouth. The bitepads, which slip comfortably between your teeth, are made of a hybrid plastic, which makes it very resilient and durable without being like hard acrylic or soft mouth guard material. The resiliency is the key, because it resists the excessive muscle activity by pushing the teeth apart. This will fatigue the muscles quickly and it is quite normal to have muscle soreness.

It depends on a number of factors, but the average time that someone needs to use the appliance is 4 to 12 weeks.

Many people who suffer from bruxism also suffer from snoring and sleep apnea. Although there are special appliances that can be made through your health care professional that are specifically designed to open the bite and pull the jaw forward, we have had a number of customers who have appreciated the reduction in snoring and sleep apnea when wearing our SleepRight Night Guard.

First, there are many different designs for dental guards available from the dental professional. Our SleepRight Night Guard is considered a posterior type splint / appliance, similar to many other posterior splints made in the dental surgery, without the much higher cost. It is also less bulky and allows easier breathing. The device comes with easy to follow care and fitting instructions and should only take a few minutes to fit.

Most people sleep around 6-8 hours a night and it is unlikely you would be able or want to continue to wear the device all day long. The goal should be to eliminate the need for the night guard as soon as possible. Yes, it is normal. When you are wearing the SleepRight Night Guard the joints are decompressed and if you have modified your behaviour to control the muscle activity, the lower jaw will relax to a more physiologically healthy position with a small shift forward.

Absolutely! Custom night guards are not bulky. They're custom-fitted to fit your individual mouth. Your tongue is not restricted and moves around freely. Our night guards are comfortable to wear while sleeping, plus you can wear them during the day without any restrictions.

If you want to continue to use a guard to protect your teeth, particularly when you first start using GrindAlert, go right ahead. It's perfectly compatible with GrindAlert.

If designed correctly, nighttime appliances help keep teeth from moving, protect ceramic restorations, and protect teeth from wear damage caused by grinding or clenching. A night guard is a plastic mouth guard worn at night to help prevent tooth grinding.

No. Our night guards are soft and made from FDA-approved energy absorbing laminates. You'll definitely notice the comfort level when you put your new custom night guard in your mouth.

The StressGard? Night Guard works by providing a cushion between the upper and lower teeth which will prevent you from "locking" your teeth together when you grind/brux, this will prevent the over activation of the facial muscles which causes the pain. The StressGard? Night Guard also provides a smooth protective surface for your teeth to slide on thus preventing damage to the teeth and enamel.

We recommend to start out for a couple of hours the first few days, until you get used to The StressGard? Nightguard. After that it can be worn all night and during the day when you find yourself grinding or clenching.

Feedback from the thousands of user tells us The StressGard? Night Guard is durable. We find 9 months to 1 year to be the norm for heavy grinders and much longer for those who suffer from episodal grinding.
