Bruxism is a common condition in the UK that can often be treated with a mouth guard for teeth grinding<\/strong>. <\/p>

A mouth guard, also known as a dental night guard, is a removable device made from soft, flexible plastic. It fits over your teeth to protect your top and bottom teeth from grinding and clenching, especially while you sleep.<\/p>

This is important because bruxism<\/a> can wear your teeth down, making them smaller and causing permanent sensitivity. Your enamel becomes irreversibly damaged, making your teeth more susceptible to cavities. Other symptoms include pain, headaches, earaches, jaw stiffness, and sleep disruption. <\/p>

In this article, we’ll go over some of the best dental mouth guards available in the UK so you can stop grinding your teeth at night and, as a result, enjoy a better night’s sleep. <\/p>

What is the best mouth guard for teeth grinding?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

There is a wide range of mouthguards available in the UK\u2014some require dentist prescriptions \u2014 these night guards cost<\/a> between \u00a3200 and \u00a3300; others can be purchased over the counter or online for much less. Night guards for bruxism from your dentist are custom-made, while others can be used right out of the box or require a ‘boil and bite’ approach. <\/p>

All of these kinds of teeth grinding guards<\/strong> have their advantages and disadvantages, which you can read more about further down. In short, we’d recommend visiting your dentist to get a custom ni<\/a>ght guard<\/a> if you can afford it, but we also realise that you may not have this kind of budget.<\/p>

The Sova Aero Dental Mouth Guard<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

The Sova Aero mouth guard<\/a> for teeth grinding, made by Swedish physician Jan Akervall, is one of the best options overall for protecting your teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep. These bruxism night guards are ultralight and more durable than other mouth guards for bruxism. <\/p>

They are made from non-compressible, non-toxic materials that help to distribute forces from clenching and grinding teeth over the entire surface of the device. They also include crumple zones which add maximum protection for your teeth and enamel from these forces. <\/p>

Designed for maximum comfort they are just 1.6 mm thick and have a perforated surface to promote airflow so it doesn’t hinder breathing when worn. The fact that they are mouldable up to 20 times ensures a perfect fit so you can talk and speak without difficulty. <\/p>

This study<\/a> from the University of Michigan shows that the SOVA Aero teeth guard is just as effective as a prescription splint or mouthguard from your dentist. And, it has been named the Dental Advisor\u2019s Best Product Award for 3 years running, so it must be pretty effective! <\/p>
