Mouth Guard Hamilton — Sports vs Night Guard 2026

Type	Purpose	Wear Time	Cost Hamilton	CDCP?
Custom sports guard	Protect teeth during contact sports	During sports	$200–$400	Partial
Custom night guard (bruxism)	Protect teeth from grinding during sleep	Nightly	$400–$600	Partial CDCP
OTC boil-and-bite (sports)	Basic protection	During sports	$20–$40	No
OTC night guard	Minimal protection; uncomfortable	Often abandoned	$25–$80	No

Custom mouth guards at Red Rose are made from precise impressions of your teeth — they fit perfectly, offer maximum protection, and are comfortable enough to actually wear. Book same-week: (905) 527-8055.

Custom Mouth Guards Hamilton — Night Guards, Sports Guards, & Bruxism Protection

Not all mouth guards are the same — and the wrong guard can give you a false sense of security while still allowing your teeth to wear down. At Red Rose Dentistry, we custom-fabricate every guard from impressions of your teeth, ensuring a precise fit that actually protects you.

Sports Guard vs. Night Guard vs. Bite Guard — What’s the Difference?

Guard Type	Purpose	Thickness	Best For
Sports Guard	Impact protection during contact sports	3–5mm, flexible	Hockey, football, rugby, MMA, boxing, basketball
Night Guard (Bruxism)	Protects against grinding & clenching	1–3mm, hard acrylic or dual-layer	Bruxers, TMJ patients, stress-grinders
Bite Splint (Occlusal Splint)	Repositions jaw for TMJ management	2–4mm, hard acrylic	TMJ disorders, joint pain, headaches
Snore Guard / Sleep Appliance	Advances lower jaw to open airway	Varies	Snoring, mild-to-moderate sleep apnea

Signs You Need a Night Guard Right Now

• Waking up with jaw pain, headaches, or facial soreness
• Partner notices you grinding teeth at night
• Teeth look shorter, flatter, or more translucent than before
• Notched or chipped enamel at the gumline (abfraction lesions)
• Increased tooth sensitivity, especially to cold
• Jaw clicking, locking, or reduced range of motion

Why Drugstore Guards Fail

Over-the-counter “boil-and-bite” guards are bulky, poorly fitting, and can actually worsen TMJ by pushing your jaw into an unnatural position. A custom-made guard from Red Rose Dentistry is:

• Precisely fitted: Made from impressions of your exact bite
• Correct thickness: Hard enough to prevent wear, thin enough to sleep comfortably
• Properly balanced: Contacts all teeth evenly to avoid joint stress
• Durable: Lasts 3–5+ years with proper care vs. months for OTC guards

CDCP Coverage for Custom Guards

Custom occlusal night guards and bruxism appliances are partially covered under the Canada Dental Care Plan for qualifying incomes at Red Rose Dentistry. We direct bill Sun Life — income under $70,000 may receive significant coverage.

Mouth Guard FAQ — Hamilton Ontario

Q: How long does a custom guard take to make?
A: We take impressions at your appointment. The guard is typically ready within 1–2 weeks. Rush options may be available.

Q: How do I clean my mouth guard?
A: Rinse with cold water after use. Brush gently with a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste — it’s abrasive). Store in the ventilated case we provide.

Q: Can I use my night guard as a sports guard?
A: No. Night guards are not designed for impact and will not protect adequately during sports. You need separate guards for each purpose.

Q: My child plays contact sports — can you make a guard for kids?
A: Yes. We make sports guards for children and teenagers. As they grow, guards may need updating — we check fit at every recall visit.
