What is night Guard (Occlusal Splint for Teeth Grinding)?
A night guard, or occlusal splint, is a removable appliance made from hard acrylic or a similar material that fits precisely over the upper or lower teeth. It takes the force of night-time clenching and grinding, reducing wear, chipping and damage to fillings and crowns. By spreading the load on the jaw muscles it can also ease morning jaw pain and tension headaches. Unlike over-the-counter guards, it is made from an impression or digital scan of your own mouth.
How is night Guard (Occlusal Splint for Teeth Grinding) done?
- Examination of tooth wear, the jaw joints and chewing muscles
- Impression or digital scan of the teeth
- The guard is made in a dental laboratory
- Fitting and adjusting the bite on the guard
- Review after a few weeks with any fine-tuning
Who is night Guard (Occlusal Splint for Teeth Grinding) suitable for?
- People who wake with aching jaw, temple or facial muscles
- Flattened, cracked or chipped teeth
- Those told by a partner that they grind their teeth in their sleep
- Clicking, locking or pain in the jaw joint
- Patients protecting new crowns, veneers or implants
Aftercare: what to watch out for
- Rinse and brush the guard each morning with cool or lukewarm water and a soft brush; hot water can warp it.
- Store it dry in its case and keep it away from pets.
- Bring it to your dentist if it cracks or no longer fits snugly.
- Stress, caffeine and alcohol can worsen clenching, so pay attention to sleep habits.
Possible side effects and risks
- Extra saliva and an unfamiliar feeling in the first few nights
- Bite discomfort if the guard is poorly adjusted (corrected at review)
- Rarely, small changes to the bite with long-term use of an ill-fitting guard
Are there alternatives?
Bruxism has several possible causes, so stress management, sleep hygiene, jaw exercises and physiotherapy are often combined with a guard. If sleep apnoea is suspected, a sleep assessment is needed. In selected cases a doctor may consider botulinum toxin injections into the chewing muscles.

Will a night guard stop me grinding?
Not always. It mainly protects the teeth from wear and reduces strain on the jaw muscles; the underlying causes still need attention.

Boil-and-bite guards can offer short-term protection, but because they do not fit precisely they may upset the bite. A custom guard is recommended for long-term use.

Depending on how hard you grind and the material, usually several years; your dentist checks it for wear at routine visits.
