Custom Dental Mouth Guards and Occlusal Splints (Night Guard)
Protect Your Smile from Grinding & TMJ Pain
Waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn teeth? You could be grinding or clenching your teeth in your sleep — a condition called bruxism. At EasyCare Family Dental, we provide custom-made night guards in East Brisbane to protect your teeth and relieve jaw tension while you sleep.
We’ve helped patients from Kangaroo Point, Woolloongabba, Norman Park, New Farm, Hawthorne, and Bulimba preserve their teeth, ease pain, and sleep better with comfortable night guards tailored to their bite.
Signs You Might Need a Night Guard
- Worn or chipped teeth (especially molars)
- Jaw tension or soreness in the morning
- Frequent headaches or earaches
- Clicking or popping sounds in your jaw (TMJ dysfunction)
- Tooth sensitivity due to enamel wear
- Partner hears you grinding at night
What Is a Dental Night Guard?
A night guard is a thin, durable appliance worn over your upper or lower teeth while you sleep. It cushions the impact of grinding and clenching, helping to:
- Prevent enamel wear and chipping
- Reduce jaw and muscle strain
- Alleviate TMJ discomfort
- Protect dental work (e.g. crowns, fillings, veneers)
Why Choose a Custom Night Guard?
Unlike bulky store-bought guards, a custom night guard from your dentist is precision-fitted for comfort and effectiveness. It’s easier to wear, more durable, and less likely to fall out while you sleep.
Our Night Guard Process
- Assessment: We evaluate your symptoms and bite to confirm bruxism or TMJ stress.
- Digital Scan or Impression: A precise mould or scan is taken of your teeth.
- Fabrication: A local dental lab creates your custom guard using strong, biocompatible material.
- Fitting: We ensure the fit is comfortable, and provide guidance on care and usage.
FAQs About Night Guards
- Is it hard to sleep with a night guard? Not at all. Most patients adapt quickly and find it comfortable within a few nights.
- How long do they last? With proper care, custom night guards typically last 2–5 years or more.
- Can I use a chemist or online guard instead? Store-bought guards are often uncomfortable, ineffective, and may worsen TMJ symptoms. A custom guard offers better fit, protection, and longevity.
- Can my health fund cover it? Yes – many private health plans include dental appliance rebates. We can help check your eligibility.

At EasyCare Family Dental in East Brisbane, we understand how important it is to protect your teeth during physical activities and while you sleep. Whether you’re an active athlete or suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding), our custom dental mouth guards and occlusal splints (Night Guards) are designed to provide maximum protection and comfort.
Why Choose Dental Mouth Guards?
A dental mouth guard is an essential piece of equipment for anyone who participates in sports or activities that could result in dental injuries. Our custom dental mouth guards are specifically designed to fit your mouth and provide superior protection compared to over-the-counter options.
Benefits of Dental Mouth Guards:
- Protects Teeth from Impact: Prevents damage from sports injuries.
- Reduces Risk of Concussions: Helps cushion the blow from an impact, reducing the risk of concussion.
- Prevents Bruxism: Ideal for individuals who grind their teeth during the night, preventing wear and damage to your teeth.
- Comfort and Fit: A custom fit ensures the mouth guard is comfortable and effective.
A night guard is custom-made by first taking an impression of the patient’s teeth, usually through a mold or digital scan. This impression is then used to create a precise, custom-fitted appliance that fits snugly over the teeth, preventing them from grinding against each other during sleep. The material used is typically durable yet comfortable, such as soft or hard acrylic, depending on the severity of the grinding. Once created, the night guard is carefully adjusted for optimal fit and comfort to ensure it provides protection, reduces jaw strain, and helps alleviate the symptoms of bruxism.
At EasyCare Family Dental, we provide custom dental mouth guards for a perfect fit, made from durable, high-quality materials to keep your teeth safe during your sports activities.
Night Time Mouth Guard or Bite Guards (Occlusal Splints)
If you suffer from teeth grinding at night, a night time mouth guard or bite guard- also known as an occlusal splint or night guard – can protect your teeth from wear and damage. Bruxism, the medical term for teeth grinding, is a common problem that can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. A night mouth guard for grinding teeth is a thin, custom-fitted appliance that helps prevent teeth from grinding together during sleep.
Benefits of Night Time Mouth Guards (Occlusal Splints or Night Guards for Teeth Grinding):
- Prevents Tooth Damage: Protects teeth from excessive wear caused by grinding.
- Relieves Jaw Pain: Reduces strain on the jaw muscles, alleviating pain and discomfort.
- Improves Sleep & Might Reduce Snoring: Helps reduce the nighttime symptoms of bruxism and might alleviate snoring, leading to better rest.
- Comfortable Fit: Custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, offering all-night protection.
Our bruxism night guard and night time mouth guard are made with high-quality materials for comfort, durability, and protection. Whether you suffer from mild or severe teeth grinding, our custom-made night guards for teeth grinding are the solution you need for restful sleep and a healthy smile.
