Nightguards have many names. They are also called mouthguards, occlusal guards, dental guards, bite splints, or nocturnal bite plates. They are retainer-like soft or hard plastic pieces that cover either the top or bottom set of teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Q&amp;A<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSmallSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><div class=\"btTabs tabsVertical \" \" data-open-first=\"\"><ul class=\"tabsHeader\"><li><span>Do I Need a Night Guard?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"tabPanes accordionPanes\"><div class=\"tabPane\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tabAccordionTitle\"><span>Do I Need a Night Guard?<\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"tabAccordionContent\"><\/p>\n<p><b>For Sports activities<\/b><br \/>\nInjuries to the mouth and face are common during sports activities. A flexible mouth guard can protect the teeth and prevent injuries to the teeth, lips, cheeks, and tongue. The most effective mouth guard is custom-made by a dentist to fit the shape of your teeth and dental arch, offering greater comfort than over-the-counter prefabricated options available in sports stores.<\/p>\n<p><b>Teeth Grinding<\/b><br \/>\nTeeth grinding, which often occurs during sleep or times of stress, can lead to wear on the surface of the teeth. Psychological factors such as stress or tension can contribute to teeth grinding. Prolonged teeth grinding habits can erode the enamel of the teeth, exposing the dentin and causing issues like tooth sensitivity and pain. Using a night guard can provide a protective layer, reducing direct contact between the teeth and alleviating the extent of wear.<\/p>\n<p>Your dentist may recommend a night guard to help you with morning headaches, for TMJ jaw pain relief, and to prevent damage to your teeth, jaw, crowns, and other dental restorations.<\/p>\n<p>Preventive measures for teeth grinding include maintaining a positive mindset, getting sufficient sleep, engaging in moderate exercise to relieve stress and tension, and thus reducing the occurrence of teeth grinding. Parents should avoid putting too much pressure on children to prevent them from developing teeth grinding issues due to stress.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator topSemiSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"rowItem col-md-4 col-ms-12 btTextLeft inherit service-menu-col\"  ><div class=\"rowItemContent\" ><div class=\"btCustomMenu service-menu\" ><div class=\"menu-service-menu-container\"><ul id=\"menu-service-menu\" class=\"menu\"><li id=\"menu-item-3426\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3426\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/oral-examination\/\">Oral Examination<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3427\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3427\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/professional-advice\/\">Professional Advice on Oral Health<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3428\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3428\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/scaling-and-polishing\/\">Scaling and Polishing<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3429\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3429\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/dental-x-rays\/\">Full Mouth and Intraoral X-ray Examination<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3430\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3430\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/fillings\/\">Dental Filling<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3431\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3431\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/extraction\/\">Non-Surgical Tooth Extraction<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3432\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3432\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/traditional-braces\/\">Traditional Metal Braces<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3433\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3433\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/invisible-braces\/\">Invisible Braces<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3531\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3531\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/home-bleaching\/\">Home Bleaching (At-Home Teeth Whitening)<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3434\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3434\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/teeth-whitening\/\">In-Office Teeth Bleaching<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3435\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3435\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/veneers\/\">Dental Veneer<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3436\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3436\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/rct\/\">Root Canal Treatment (Endodontic (Pulp) Treatment)<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3437\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3437\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/micro-root-canal-treatment\/\">Microscopic Root Canal Treatment<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3438\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3438\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/wisdom-tooth-extraction\/\">Wisdom Tooth Extraction Surgery<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3439\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3439\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/dental-implant\/\">Dental Implants<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3440\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3440\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/all-on-4\/\">All-On-4 Full Mouth Dental Implants<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3441\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3441\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/mouthguards\/\">Night Guard<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3523\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3523\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/sleep-apnea-mouth-guard\/\">Sleep Apnea Mouth Guard<\/a><\/li><li id=\"menu-item-3442\" class=\"menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-3442\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cjdental.hk\/en\/oral-services\/crowns-and-bridges\/\">Crowns &#038;
