Frequently Asked Questions
A custom dental nightguard is designed to protect your teeth while you sleep if you grind or clench (also known as bruxism). Unlike over-the-counter bite guards, a lab-made nightguard is crafted from your dental impression so it fits precisely over your teeth. This helps cushion the pressure from grinding, protect enamel from wear and fractures, and can reduce jaw tension, morning headaches, and TMJ-related discomfort. If you wake up with sore teeth, jaw pain, or notice flat or chipped edges, a custom nightguard is often the best solution.
Yes. All Lyla appliances are custom-made using your dental impressions. Once you complete your at-home impression, our dental lab crafts a guard that matches the shape and bite of your teeth for a secure, comfortable fit. A properly fitted custom nightguard or mouthguard stays in place, protects the teeth evenly, and feels far more comfortable than a boil-and-bite or stock guard from the store.
Most dental proffessional recommend replacing a nightguard or sports mouthguard every 6–12 months, depending on how hard you grind, clench, or play. Heavy bruxism can wear down a nightguard faster, and frequent sports impact can compress or damage a mouthguard over time. If you notice cracks, thinning areas, a loose fit, or visible wear, it’s time to replace your dental guard. Regular replacement helps maintain protection, comfort, and proper coverage of your teeth
To care for your nightguard or mouthguard, rinse it with cool water after each use and gently brush it with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive cleanser to remove plaque, saliva, and bacteria. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material. Let your dental guard air dry completely before storing it in a ventilated case.
For a deeper clean, you should also use denture cleaning tablets or an ultrasonic dental cleaner. These help remove stubborn debris, kill bacteria, reduce odors, and keep your custom nightguard or sports mouthguard looking clear and feeling fresh. Proper cleaning and storage help prevent discoloration, buildup, and bad smells—and can extend the life of your dental guard.
