Intended Use

The DenTek NightGuard is indicated for protection against bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding. It is intended to reduce damage to the teeth and to prevent the noise associated with bruxing or teeth grinding.

Device Description

The DenTek NightGuard is composed of a soft, formable material made of a blend of ethylene vinyl acetates, and non-formable occlusal base, which cushions the teeth. The base is composed of a copolymer of ethylene and methyl acrylate. When heated and then briefly cooled, the formable material is molded to fit the user's upper teeth for maximum retention. The hard base prevents bite-through by users with moderate to severe nocturnal bruxing and cushions the teeth on all occlusal surfaces. The DenTek NightGuard is designed with three flex points that allow for expansion and contraction of the device to fit most mouth sizes.
