What is Night Guard (2 Jaw)?
A night guard (occlusal splint) is a custom-made protective device worn over the teeth during sleep to prevent damage from bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching). MedProper Istanbul's night guards are precision-fabricated from durable, transparent acrylic based on digital impressions of both your upper and lower jaw, ensuring an exact fit and comfortable wear.
How Does Night Guard (2 Jaw) Work?
- 1Your dentist examines your teeth for signs of wear, fracture, or TMJ dysfunction caused by bruxism.
- 2Precise digital or physical impressions of both jaws are taken along with a bite registration.
- 3The laboratory fabricates a hard acrylic splint custom-fitted to your dental arch.
- 4At the fitting appointment, the guard is adjusted for even contact distribution and comfortable retention.
- 5You receive care instructions and wear guidance, typically nightly use.
Who is a Good Candidate for Night Guard (2 Jaw)?
- Individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep (bruxism)
- Patients with worn, chipped, or cracked teeth due to habitual grinding
- Those experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or TMJ discomfort related to clenching
- Patients with expensive dental restorations (veneers, crowns, implants) they want to protect

Frequently Asked Questions
Common signs include worn or flattened tooth surfaces, morning jaw soreness, headaches upon waking, and a partner reporting grinding sounds. Your dentist can confirm by examining wear patterns.
Absolutely. The guard comes with a ventilated carry case. It is small and easy to pack for travel.
Rinse after each use, brush gently with a soft toothbrush and cool water, and soak in a denture-cleaning tablet weekly. Avoid hot water as it can distort the acrylic.
A night guard does not stop the grinding habit itself, but it prevents the destructive effects: tooth wear, fractures, and joint strain. Stress management and relaxation techniques may help reduce the habit.
