Are you dealing with frequent teeth grinding or jaw clenching, especially during the day? An occlusal guard might be the perfect solution. Unlike night guards, which are designed for sleep, occlusal guards are versatile and can be used throughout the day to protect your teeth and jaw from unnecessary strain.
What Is an Occlusal Guard?
Occlusal guards are durable, custom-fitted appliances that provide protection against teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching. While night guards are specifically for nighttime use, occlusal guards offer protection both day and night, depending on your needs.
Occlusal guards are ideal for people with the following concerns:
- Persistent teeth grinding or clenching throughout the day.
- TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders.
- Ongoing issues with tooth wear or jaw tension.

Benefits of an Occlusal Guard
- Prevents Tooth Damage: Shields your teeth from excessive wear, fractures, and enamel erosion.
- Supports Jaw Health: Helps alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorders and reduces muscle strain.
- Daily Versatility: Designed for use during daily activities like work or exercise.
Occlusal Guards vs. Night Guards
While night guards are designed for nighttime use and are generally softer for comfort during sleep, occlusal guards are built with durability in mind to withstand daily grinding or clenching. Think of it as a stronger, multi-use solution for serious dental protection.
