But, are there any <strong>dental night guard side effects<\/strong> and what can you do to prevent them?<\/p>    <p>Side effects from night guards are usually minor, but it&#8217;s important to be aware of them before deciding whether to purchase one of these devices.<\/p>    <p>In this article, we will look at the possible side effects of wearing a night guard and answer the following questions.<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>What are the different types of night guards? <\/li>    <li>Are there any dental night guard side effects?<\/li>    <li>How can you avoid these side effects?<\/li>    <li>Where can you buy a custom night guard?<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Let&#8217;s get started. <\/p>    <h2 id=\"what-are-the-different-types-of-night-guards\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the different types of night guards?<\/h2>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/depositphotos-209580202-l-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"night mouth guard side effects\" class=\"wp-image-56178\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Learn about night guard side effects<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <p>Before we look at dental night guard side effects, we should distinguish between the different types of night guard. This is because different types can result in different problems for users.<\/p>    <p>There are three main types of night guard:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Standard:<\/strong> A simple one-size-fits-all plastic device that is worn over the teeth. This type tends to be inexpensive but isn&#8217;t designed to fit your teeth perfectly.<\/li>    <li><strong>Boil and bite:<\/strong> A one-size-fits-all device that you place in hot water before placing over your teeth, to help it fit better. It&#8217;s not designed to be an exact fit but is often the most affordable option for people on a limited budget.<\/li>    <li><strong>Custom:<\/strong> A custom guard is more expensive and made from a cast taken of your teeth and gums by a dentist. The custom guard fits your teeth exactly and can also be made in different thicknesses, according to the severity of your bruxism.<\/li> <\/ul>    <p>Although custom night guards are the most expensive, they tend to come with fewer side effects because they are a perfect fit.<\/p>    <h2 id=\"are-there-any-side-effects-of-night-guards\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Are there any side effects of night guards?<\/h2>    <p>Some side effects are only temporary and shouldn&#8217;t be a cause for worry, while others may be problematic. Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the <strong>common problems that people experience with night guards<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minor discomfort<\/h3>    <p>When you sleep with a night guard, you might experience <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/teeth-grinding-bruxism\/mouth-guard-teeth-grinding\/tmj-mouth-guard\/teeth-hurt\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"35287\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">minor discomfort<\/a> and irritation simply because you are not used to wearing one.<\/p>    <p>However, stick with it because after a few days or weeks, your mouth should get accustomed to wearing a night guard and you might even find it strange sleeping without one!<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"259\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/man-with-tooth-pain-300x259.jpg\" alt=\"night guard side effects\" class=\"wp-image-7582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/man-with-tooth-pain-300x259.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/man-with-tooth-pain-768x663.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2019\/03\/man-with-tooth-pain.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Night guard side effects can include cheeks, gum and tongue irritation<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Irritation to gums, cheeks, or tongue<\/h3>    <p>If the guard does not fit your teeth and gums well, it can cause irritation to the surrounding areas. The tongue or the insides of the cheeks may take some time before they get used to pressing against a fixed surface all night long.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Poor fit causing pain or soreness<\/h3>    <p>People often experience problems with over-the-counter night guards because of a poor fit. A night guard that is too small or thin may be ineffective at preventing your teeth from clenching together.<\/p>    <p>A poorly fitting night guard can also cause you to gag or even choke because of its instability in the mouth. This is more likely if you have bruxism-related TMJ disorders because increased pressure on your jaw muscles can shift or dislocate your device. <\/p>    <p>It may put pressure on certain teeth and, over time, cause them to change position.<\/p>    <p>Investing in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/teeth-grinding-bruxism\/mouth-guard-teeth-grinding\/custom-night-guard\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/teeth-grinding-bruxism\/mouth-guard-teeth-grinding\/custom-night-guard\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">custom night guard<\/a> is the best way to protect against these potential side effects.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dry mouth<\/h3>    <p>If the device is too large, it can cause your front teeth to be pushed forward and your lips to pucker as they try to hold it between your teeth. This may cause you to sleep with your mouth open and you may wake up with a dry mouth (and bad breath).<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enamel damage<\/h3>    <p>If food or other particles get stuck in your night guard, this can lead to cavities or gum disease. This is why you should always brush and floss your teeth before putting in your night guard. You should also be careful not to eat or drink anything except water until you remove it in the morning.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jaw pain<\/h3>    <p>Although night guards are intended to relieve jaw pain from teeth grinding and clenching, occasionally people find that wearing a night guard makes the pain worse.<\/p>    <p>Again, this is often down to a poor fit because uneven contact with the teeth can result in even more clenching.<\/p>    <p>If you notice your jaw pain worsening after wearing a nightguard, or it feels like your jaw alignment is changing, you should consult your dentist.<\/p>   <div class=\"wp-block-image\"> <figure class=\"alignright size-medium\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/soft-night-guards-3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"night mouth guard side effects\" class=\"wp-image-36572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/soft-night-guards-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/soft-night-guards-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/06\/soft-night-guards-3.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Custom nightguards will be more comfortable<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>   <h2 id=\"how-can-you-avoid-dental-night-guard-side-effects\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can you avoid dental night guard side effects?<\/h2>    <p>While these side effects are serious and could mean irreversible damage, there is a way to avoid them: find a nightguard that fits properly and is an appropriate thickness for your needs.<\/p>    <p>With this in mind, we recommend purchasing a custom night guard rather than a boil-and-bite or one-size-fits-all type. Although a custom device is more of an investment, it will fit your teeth properly and protect against the majority of <strong>night guard side effects<\/strong>.<\/p>    <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where can you buy a custom night guard?<\/h3>    <p>You can visit your dentist to get advice about buying a custom night guard. Based on the symptoms you are experiencing, they will be able to advise you on the best style for your needs.<\/p>    <p>However they can be quite high cost, so another option is to order a custom night guard online and take your own dental impressions at home.<\/p>    <p>Biite is an oral healthcare brand that offers affordable custom-made nightguards that you can order online from the comfort of your home. These nightguards are just 4mm thick, so they are very comfortable to wear, but they can handle the daily grind \u2014 pun intended.<\/p>    <p>If you choose to order from a company like Biite, the process is quite straightforward:<\/p>    <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Order your impression kit:<\/strong> Go online and order an impression kit.
