Can teeth bleaching trays be used as nightguard?!


Question: Can teeth bleaching trays be used as nightguard?
they look similar to me.

2. how long do most night guards last?

thanks.

Answers:

No. chances are you will grind right through them if you are a heavy grinder. A night guard, or bite plane, is made of a hard acrylic material and is meant to be made thick enough so when you clench together, you are biting evenly all the way around. Meant to save your teeth from grinding but also helps with headaches and TMJ (jaw) problems.
