Description
The BITE GARD is an advanced intra-oral protective device designed to safeguard your teeth and oral structures against impact and bruxism. Ideal for athletes and individuals with conditions such as teeth grinding, clenching, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), it offers comprehensive protection while enhancing comfort.
Custom Fit
Each BITE GARD is custom-molded to the user's dental arch, ensuring a personalized and secure fit. The process begins with an at-home dental impression kit, allowing users to create a precise mold of their teeth. This impression is then used to fabricate the device, resulting in a mouthguard that fits seamlessly.
Material and Design
Crafted with advanced dual-laminate technology, the BITE GARD features a hard, durable exterior coupled with a soft, comfortable interior. This unique construction provides adaptability and a secure fit. The U-shaped base, made from resilient materials such as polyvinylchloride or non-toxic vinyl plastic, includes upstanding buccal and lingual walls that form a trough to enclose the teeth. The design enhances retention, with the outer wall higher than the inner wall.
Shock Absorption
The BITE GARD is equipped with innovative shock absorption features. An anterior slit pocket houses a thin, resilient splint plate that distributes impact forces and aids retention. Additionally, a pneumatic cushion in the occlusal area resists bite-through and absorbs shock, with air spaces that inflate under compression to improve retention.
Personalization Options
Users can personalize their BITE GARD with options such as inscribing their name inside the device or adding flavoring to the filler material. Despite its robust design, the device is not bulky, allowing for normal speech and comfortable wear during sleep or daytime activities.
Fitting and Adjustment
The self-molding filler material ensures a custom impression, while a U-shaped metallic retainer clip may be used during fitting to prevent distortion. Manual adjustment of the splint is possible after fitting, providing additional customization.
Durability
Renowned for its durability, the BITE GARD is 66% more resilient than standard soft laminate night guards, making it suitable for light to moderate nighttime grinding and clenching. Its reusable nature ensures long-term use, offering reliable protection over time.
Maintenance
To maintain its effectiveness, the BITE GARD should be cleaned regularly and stored in a protective case when not in use. Periodic inspection for wear or damage is recommended to ensure ongoing protection.
The BITE GARD stands out as a versatile and reliable solution for protecting dental health, reducing snoring, and preventing teeth migration or rotation, all while providing exceptional comfort and fit.
