Mouthguards for Sleep or Sport
At Laurel Dental Group, you can get custom-made mouthguards to protect your smile no matter what comes your way. If you play sports or grind your teeth while you sleep, mouthguards are the best way to keep your smile in great shape.
Customized Athletic Mouthguards
There are three basic types of mouthguards:
- Pre-made
- Boil-and-bite
- Custom-made mouthguards from Laurel Dental Group
While the other options provide some level of protection, nothing compares to a mouth guard customized for your unique smile. Your mouth guard should be durable and comfortable, never causing pain or irritation.

Nighttime Mouthguards
Occlusal ("night" or "bite") guards are custom-made appliances that treat bruxism (grinding and clenching) while you sleep. Common signs of nighttime grinding and clenching include:
- Ear pain
- Excessive tooth wear
- Facial pain
- Headaches
- Jaw pain
- Tooth sensitivity
Generally worn at night, the strong, durable material relieves the symptoms of bruxism by comfortably separating the jaws to calm facial nerves, relax muscles, and minimize the traumatic forces that lead to irregular tooth wear.
