See your dentist: A nightguard can be fabricated for either the top or bottom teeth. See your dentist for your preference to be fabricated.

Night Guards: There are many different types of custom night guards, both in design and using different types of materials. Sometimes it's best to fabricate an upper night guard, sometimes it's best to use a lower one and often it doesn't matter. Each case is different based upon many factors. Some dentists also have more training as to which ones to use and why. Discuss this with your own dentist.

Of course: A night guard can be placed on either the top or bottom teeth. It can be soft or hard, custom made or OTC.
