The soft night guard may be prescribed for mild cases of night grinding or bruxism. There are patients who do not suffer from the unfortunate habit on a nightly basis. There are also patients whose degree of grinding is not so significant. For these patients, a soft protection is enough to solve the problem and preserve teeth structure. The soft night guard is also well suited for people who suffer from teeth clenching rather than teeth grinding. The soft material cushions some of the clenching force.

The hard night guard is much more durable. It’s made from acrylic, a clear, hard plastic material. The hard night guard is suitable for people who suffer from heavy to severe teeth grinding.

The most comfortable of the acrylic splints, the Thermoplastic Night Guard is easy to seat and kind to cosmetic restorations. Ideal for cases with missing teeth or unusual draw.

wearability, comfort, and fit are second to none.

The NTI device is an anterior bite stop, indicated for the prevention and treatment of bruxism, temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), tension-type headaches, and migraine. Because NTI helps reduce your clenching, it helps maximize your comfort and should minimize your need for medications.
