What is the difference between a night guard for bruxism and an athletic mouthguard?

A night guard for bruxism is designed to protect teeth from grinding and clenching during sleep, while an athletic mouthguard protects teeth, lips, and jaws from impact during sports. Night guards focus on bite alignment and pressure distribution, whereas athletic mouthguards are thicker and absorb shock to prevent injuries.

How long do custom mouthguards last?

Custom mouthguards typically last several years, depending on how often they are worn and how well they are cared for. How long an athletic mouthguard lasts varies wildly depending on how many games and practices it is worn for, while night guards for bruxism often last at least three to five years of nightly wear, depending on the severity of the bruxism. Bringing your oral appliances to your routine dental visits help us monitor wear and ensure proper fit.

How do I clean and maintain my mouthguard?

Proper cleaning helps extend the life of your mouthguard. We recommend rinsing it with cool water after each use and gently brushing it with a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material. Store your mouthguard in a ventilated case and bring it to our office for professional cleaning and inspection.

Is the cost of a mouthguard covered by insurance?

Insurance coverage for mouthguards varies by plan. We often see at least partial coverage for night guards when medically necessary to treat bruxism or TMJ-related issues. Athletic mouthguards are not frequently covered, as they are usually considered elective. Our team is happy to review your benefits and submit claims, and we also accept CareCredit™, which can be used to finance the cost of your oral appliance.
