The short answer
A night guard is a custom-fit appliance you wear while you sleep to protect your teeth from grinding and clenching (bruxism). It prevents worn, chipped, and cracked teeth and eases jaw pain and morning headaches. A custom one fits far better and lasts longer than store-bought. From about $300.
Do I grind?
Most people grind in their sleep without knowing, until the damage shows. Recognize any of these?
Flattened edges, small chips, or increasing tooth sensitivity as enamel wears down.
A sore, tight jaw or a dull headache that's worst when you first wake up.
A partner who hears grinding at night, or clicking and tightness in your jaw (TMJ).
Grinding is one of the most common causes of cracked teeth and worn enamel, and a guard stops it.
Years of grinding flatten and chip teeth, wear enamel, and strain the jaw, leading to costly repairs.
A cushioned barrier takes the force instead of your teeth, so they stay whole and your jaw rests.
A drugstore guard is better than nothing, but here's why custom is the one you'll actually keep wearing.
| Custom (dentist) | Store-bought | |
|---|---|---|
| Fit | Molded to your bite | One-size, bulky |
| Comfort | Thin, stays in | Often gags / falls out |
| Durability | Years | Months |
| Protection | Full, for real grinders | Limited |
| Best for | Anyone who grinds | Very occasional, mild |

Custom protection that's a fraction of the cost of fixing ground-down teeth.
| Type | Just Smile (from) | Miami market | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soft night guard | $300 | $300–$450 | Light grinding / clenching |
| Hard / dual-layer guard | $400 | $400–$600 | Heavy grinders, longest-lasting |
| Store-bought (for comparison) | $20–$100 | — | Poor fit, months not years |
For heavy grinders, Botox for bruxism relaxes the overactive jaw muscles while your guard protects the teeth. Together they're the most effective fix.
