Night and Mouth Guard Material

Choose the right material for the right situation

Hard processed is sometimes too hard, Hard/Soft sometimes wears through.  Need something inbetween?  Request our printed Nightguard.  


Processed:  This is a traditional waxed and processed in a hard heat cured clear acrylic. ($196)


ComfortSoft:  This is a propetary material in the form of a disc.  It has a soft inner layer and a hard outer shell.  Great comfort to the patient against their teeth yet hard outer shell for wear.  ($79) + requires articulation


Print:  Print resins have gained popularity due to the nature of the material once printed.  Minimal thickness of the final print should be no less the 1.6mm but since it is designed the thickness can be whatever is needed so works well with an open bite.  The material is somewhat flexible but not as flexible as a sports mouthguard but not as hard as a processed nightguard.  ($159)


Sports Mouthguard:  We use Proform.  It comes in a varity of colors and protects teeth extremely well. ($69)
