Mouth guards are coverings worn over teeth, and often used to protect teeth from injury from teeth grinding and during sports.

There are three types of mouth guards:

An effective mouth guard should be comfortable, resist tears, be durable and easy to clean, and should not restrict your breathing or speech. If you grind your teeth at night, a special mouth guard-type of dental appliance called a nocturnal bite plate or bite splint may be created to prevent tooth damage.
