A member asked:
Teeth grinding at night - will a custom night guard work better than a over-the-counter one?

Absolutely: A custom night guard will fit better and can be adjusted and is best suited for the intended purpose.

100% yes: While more inexpensive, it has been shown that these appliances may actually induce more instances of clenching and grinding. You are much better off having an appliance fabricated and adjusted to your bite vs. A one size fits all approach.

Definitely Custom: The custom made. They made it for you and much better fit your teeth.
