The lifespan of this night guard depends on various factors, including the intensity of teeth grinding, overall wear and tear, and maintenance practices. On average, the 2mm guard lasts between 6 to 18 months with regular usage. However, individual experiences may vary. We strongly recommend replacing your Hard Night Guard yearly, at a bare minimum, but every six months is ideal. Even if your hard mouthguard is still in great condition, bacteria builds up over time, which can lead to cavities and other dental problems.

Here’s a secret about night guards—your dentist doesn't actually create them! They take your impression and send it to a dental lab (just like ours) for fabrication. By ordering your hard mouthguard directly from us, a professional dental lab, you save money because you don't have to pay the dentist for taking your impression or cover their additional overhead costs. This direct-to-consumer approach allows us to offer the same Hard Night Guard at a lower price. While there are rare cases where specific adjustments are necessary, such as jaw alignment, most people only require a night guard for teeth grinding and clenching, which we provide with the same level of quality and care as we do for dentists.

The decision of whether to order a night guard for your upper or lower arch depends on various factors and personal preferences. Most dentists recommend an upper night guard, as they don’t usually interfere with the tongue's movement. However, some individuals may find a lower night guard to be more comfortable. If you have undergone dental work on your upper teeth, such as crowns or implants, your dentist might recommend a Hard Night Guard for your lower arch instead. It’s a good idea to discuss your options with your dentist and consider factors like comfort, fit, and any specific dental concerns before making a decision.

Proper night guard care is essential for its longevity and effectiveness. After each use, rinse your night guard with lukewarm water to remove saliva and debris. Make sure to avoid using hot water, as it may distort the shape of the guard. Regularly clean your Hard Night Guard with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste to prevent bacterial buildup. Store the night guard in its case when not in use to protect it from damage and bacteria. We also suggest avoiding exposing the night guard to excessive heat or direct sunlight.

However, we’d also understand if you’d like a complete refund, and in that case, we’ll respect your choice and ask no further questions.
