Frequently asked questions
What are the purposes of nightguards and mouthguards?
Nightguards and mouthguards serve different but equally important purposes in protecting your oral health. Nightguards are designed to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding or clenching during sleep, protecting your teeth and reducing jaw discomfort. Mouthguards, on the other hand, are used during sports or physical activities to protect your teeth and gums from injury, ensuring your smile stays safe during high-impact activities.
How are custom nightguards and mouthguards made?
At Purple Vine Dental, we create custom-fit guards tailored specifically to your mouth for maximum comfort and effectiveness. The process involves taking precise impressions of your teeth, which we use to craft a guard that fits securely and stays in place. The result is a durable, high-quality guard that’s easy to wear and provides optimal protection.
How should I care for my nightguard or mouthguard?
To keep your guard in great shape, rinse it with water before and after use, and clean it regularly using a toothbrush and non-abrasive soap or a specialized cleaning solution. Store it in its protective case when not in use, and avoid exposing it to extreme heat, which can cause warping. Bring it with you to your dental checkups so we can ensure it remains in excellent condition. With proper care, your guard can provide reliable protection for years.
