About This Treatment

Custom night guards are precision-fabricated dental splints worn during sleep to protect teeth from grinding and clenching (bruxism), preventing tooth wear, fractures, and jaw pain. Chinese dental clinics offer high-quality custom-fitted appliances made from durable thermoplastic materials at a fraction of Western prices. Digital scanning ensures optimal fit and comfort for long-term nightly use.
