A Night Guard is a custom-made occlusal appliance designed to protect teeth from the harmful effects of bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching). It helps reduce excessive occlusal forces, minimize tooth wear, and relieve jaw muscle discomfort while promoting a more stable bite during sleep.
At Times Dental Lab, every Night Guard is digitally designed and precisely fabricated to ensure a comfortable fit, excellent durability, and reliable long-term performance.
