Most cheap teeth grinding mouth guards feature a typical sports mouthguard design, which isn't adapted for protecting against tooth/enamel wear and receding gum lines. Furthermore, your dentist might have recommended you buy a dental guard from there office costing anywhere from $300 to $800. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford spending that amount, especially when the fit and function aren't guaranteed to help the condition.
Recent studies have shown that badly fitted dentist made guards can worsen teeth grinding due to the use of hard acrylic materials creating unnatural teeth movement and disrupting normal alignment. In fact, here's what most dentist don't tell you: YOUR DENTIST DOES NOT ACTUALLY MAKE THE GUARD.
Usually, your dentist simply takes an impression of your teeth, sends the impression to a dental lab, and receives a completed night guard two weeks later for only a fraction of the cost you end up paying.
In fact, because dental labs specialize in the mass production of crowns, bridges and dentures, they aren't equipped or trained to produce customized products like a night time mouth guard. Their lack of precision and craftsmanship can sometimes result in an extremely painful mouthguard worsening your teeth grinding situation.
RiseGuard Mouthguards are the perfect blend between the traditional Boil-&-Bite guards and Custom-fitted dentist made guards. Priced at a fraction of the dentist guards and produced from our unique TP-EVA material blend, their mouthguards tightly mold to your teeth allowing for an unbeatable fit, incredibly comfort and great longevity. All you have to do is follow the easy 3 step fitting process!

- Waking up with headaches
- Lack of sleep and fatigue
