Night guards can be constructed from various materials, each chosen based on the individual's specific needs and dental conditions. Common materials include acrylic resin for its durability and cost-effectiveness, laminate or flexible plastic for enhanced comfort, and sometimes a combination of these. For those requiring additional strength, night guards with a metal framework might be recommended to provide extra support and longevity.
The material selection process is crucial as it affects the effectiveness and fit of the guard. At our practice, we work closely with dental laboratories to ensure that the night guard you receive is made from high-quality materials tailored to your oral health needs.
