How to connect Bruxism appliances
Bruxism splints & nightguards
Bruxism is a condition where a person involuntarily grinds or clenches their teeth — during the day, at night, or both. Left untreated it can cause worn enamel, jaw pain, headaches and cracked restorations. Because it often happens during sleep, most patients don't realise they're doing it until the damage is visible.

| Soft-hard (standard) | Moderate to severe grinding — our most-ordered appliance | 2mm soft inner bonded to a 1mm hard outer | 5 working days | 3 months |
| Extra-thickness soft-hard | Severe grinders needing a rigid bite surface; takes occlusal balancing | 1mm soft inner, 2mm hard outer | See turnaround times | 3 months |
| Hard nightguard (Michigan / Tanner) | Severe bruxism, TMD, jaw pain and headaches | Solid hard acrylic, adjusted to even contact | 7 working days | 6 months |

Nightguards & bruxism splints: common questions
What's the difference between a soft, dual-laminate and hard nightguard?
A soft nightguard is flexible EVA, comfortable and best for mild or occasional clenching. A dual-laminate (soft-hard) has a soft inner bonded to a hard outer — comfort against the teeth with a durable biting surface, which is why it is our most-ordered appliance. A hard nightguard is solid acrylic, adjusted to even contact, and is the choice for severe bruxism and TMD.
Which nightguard is best for severe grinding?
For heavy grinders, a hard acrylic nightguard (Michigan or Tanner type) or an extra-thickness soft-hard with a rigid bite surface. Soft guards wear through quickly under heavy load, so they are generally ruled out for severe cases. Our free appliance picker narrows it down in three questions.
Do you make nightguards for TMJ and jaw pain?
Yes. A full-coverage hard splint adjusted to even contact is the usual choice where TMD symptoms, jaw pain or headaches are the concern. For muscular cases, an anterior midpoint contact splint — our B-Splint or DAR-AL — deprograms the muscles short-term. See the complete guide to occlusal splints.
How long does a custom nightguard take to make?
Soft and soft-hard nightguards have a standard turnaround of 5 working days; hard nightguards, B-Splints and DAR-AL splints take 7 working days, measured from receipt of the scan or impression. Gold (1 day) and Silver (2 day) express services are available on any appliance.
What do you need to make a nightguard?
An upper and lower scan or impression plus a bite registration. Digital scans are preferred — they are more accurate and come with free 3D-printed models — but traditional impressions are fine. See our scan and impression requirements.
Can a patient order a nightguard directly from the lab?
No. Nightguards and occlusal splints are made to a dentist’s prescription, because the appliance has to suit the patient’s bite and the clinical picture behind the grinding. Patients should speak to their dental practice, who can send us the case. Only denture repairs and professional denture cleaning are offered direct to the public.
