There are two main types of nightguards:
Customized – Your dentist will create a customized nightguard based on your unique needs. You’ll wear the nightguard all through the night while sleeping.
Prefabricated – A prefabricated nightguard comes ready-made. Some models require molding the guard to fit your mouth, while others fit over the teeth without any shaping. These typically do not work well and can cause additional issues due to the poor fit.
