Why is a custom dental guard better than an over-the-counter boil-and-bite guard?

Store-bought boil-and-bite guards are bulky, loose, and uncomfortable, often causing gagging or falling out during sleep. Custom guards are fabricated from precise digital impressions, fitting snugly over your teeth without restricting breathing or speech.

How long do custom night guards last?

A high-quality dual-laminate night guard typically lasts between 2 and 5 years, depending on the severity of your nighttime grinding and proper daily maintenance.

Can I wear my night guard on either the upper or lower teeth?

Custom night guards are most commonly made for the upper dental arch because it provides superior retention and comfort. However, if you have missing upper teeth or extensive restorations, a lower guard can be custom-made instead.

Can a sports mouthguard be worn with braces?

Yes! Special orthodontic sports mouthguards are custom-designed with built-in channels that protect both your teeth and your braces brackets from blunt sports impacts.

What happens when I get a custom night guard or mouthguard?

Dr. Sneha takes a precise digital scan or impression of your teeth, and the guard is made in a dental laboratory. At the fitting, it is checked on your teeth and bite and adjusted for comfort. Most patients need two visits, with a quick check after a few weeks.

Understanding the treatment

What are Night Guards & Sports Mouthguards?

Enamel is tough but not unbreakable: night-time teeth grinding (bruxism) and sports impacts chip teeth, crack enamel and cause sensitivity, and a custom guard absorbs those forces. At Dr. Sneha-The Dental Studio in Wadgaon Sheri, Pune, we make a night guard for teeth grinding and sports mouthguards for patients from Kharadi, Viman Nagar and Kalyani Nagar.

Dr. Sneha Sardar (BDS) uses digital impressions and medical-grade dual-laminate or multi-layer material for a secure fit and easy breathing. Jaw pain with grinding may need TMJ treatment, and we make mouthguards that fit over braces. You can book a consultation.

After your visit

Recovery & aftercare

Good aftercare protects your result. We'll give you personalised instructions after treatment; this is a general guide to what most patients can expect.

Recovery timeline

Rinse after use
Rinse your guard with cool water immediately after removing it each morning, and brush gently with a soft toothbrush.
Keep dry in case
Store your guard in its ventilated protective case when not in use; keep away from household pets.
Periodic check
Bring your guard to your 6-month check-up so Dr. Sneha can inspect it for wear patterns and calibrate the fit.

Aftercare tips

Never use hot or boiling water to clean your guard, as heat will warp the thermoplastic material and ruin the custom fit
Do not use abrasive whitening toothpastes to clean your night guard; use mild liquid soap or specialized denture cleaning tablets
Keep your night guard safely in its ventilated container; household pets are naturally attracted to the scent of saliva and love chewing guards

Call us if you notice

Cracking, tearing, or holes worn through the biting surface of the guard indicates it is time for a replacement
A guard that starts feeling loose or falls out during sleep requires a clinic fit evaluation
Soreness on specific gum margins indicating an uneven pressure spot needing minor trimming
