A guard from a drugstore is one shape stretched over every mouth, which is why so many of them end up abandoned in a drawer after a week. A guard molded to your own teeth stays seated through the night or through a game without you thinking about it, which is the only version that actually protects anything.
At Bluewater Dental, our Palm Beach Gardens office makes night guards for grinding, occlusal guards where the bite is wearing enamel unevenly, and sports guards for contact athletes. If you are grinding hard enough to crack teeth or wake with a locked jaw, the guard is one part of a broader treatment plan rather than the whole fix.
Dr. Calvin Kaler leads our Palm Beach Gardens office on Burns Road, where guards are made from impressions of your own teeth rather than pulled off a shelf.
