“Using a NewSmile Night Guard every night has prevented jaw pain and tooth damage. I wish I started sooner!”
💰 Understanding Night Guard Costs
The cost of a night guard can vary widely depending on materials, customization, and where you purchase it. Dentists typically charge anywhere from $300–$800, while online providers like NewSmile offer high-quality custom guards starting at just $129. Insurance may cover part of the cost, reducing your out-of-pocket expense to $50–$300.
Factors affecting cost include:
- • Material type: hard acrylic, soft dual-layer, or hybrid
- • Fit precision: digital scan vs. traditional mold
- • Labor and manufacturing process
NewSmile simplifies the process, offering durable, comfortable, and professional-grade guards at a fraction of dental office prices.
Pro Tip: Investing in a custom night guard now can save hundreds in future dental repairs from teeth grinding or TMJ strain.
✨ Why Custom Night Guards Are Worth It
Over-the-counter (OTC) guards are inexpensive but often fail to provide long-term comfort or protection. A custom night guard, like NewSmile’s, offers:
- ✔ Tailored fit for all-night comfort
- ✔ Durable design lasting 2–5 years
- ✔ Protection against enamel wear, chips, and TMJ strain
- ✔ Reduced morning jaw pain and headaches
OTC guards cost $20–$100 but often require frequent replacement and can cause bite issues if ill-fitting.
“I tried a generic guard first, but it was bulky and uncomfortable. My NewSmile Night Guard fits perfectly and protects my teeth all night.”
🦷 Smile Assessment: Ensuring the Perfect Fit
A Smile Assessment evaluates your bite, jaw movement, and grinding patterns to ensure your night guard provides effective protection while remaining comfortable.
During assessment, professionals check:
- • Bite alignment and jaw function
- • Signs of teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- • TMJ tension and muscle balance
- • Long-term oral health protection needs
“The Smile Assessment helped me understand why a custom night guard was the right choice for me.”
⏰ Custom vs OTC Night Guards
OTC guards are typically one-size-fits-all or boil-and-bite and provide limited comfort and protection. NewSmile custom guards are:
- ✔ Tailored to your teeth and bite
- ✔ Durable for years instead of months
- ✔ Thin, comfortable design for all-night wear
- ✔ Full protection against grinding, clenching, and TMJ strain
