Night and athletic mouthguards are specifically designed to keep your teeth from grinding together. For nighttime use, the guard acts as a cushion between the top and bottom teeth, preventing grinding that can cause cracking, fractures and generalized enamel wear. For individuals who are involved in sports, athletic guards prevent teeth from being knocked out, chipped or fractured if the person happens to get hit in the face. However these guards are used, they are incredibly beneficial to the overall protection of your smile.
