NIGHT GUARD HOME-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Congratulations on investing in your oral health with a custom-made night guard.
Proper care and usage will ensure it protects your teeth for years to come.



PROPER USE
COMPLIANCE IS CRITICAL!

 * Wear your night guard every night to prevent the damaging effects of bruxism.

 * If adjusting is difficult, wear it a few hours each day, gradually working up
   to a full night.





Using Your Night Guard

 * Rinse well with water before placing it in your mouth.

 * Place it in your mouth using your fingers, not by biting it into place.

 * Rinse well with water after use and store it dry in its case. Do not wrap it
   in a napkin or paper towel.

 * Never soak your night guard in any liquid (mouthwash, denture cleanser, hot
   water) except as instructed for cleaning.

 * Store it in its case away from direct sunlight.

 * Important: Keep it out of reach of dogs; they might see it as a chew toy.

 * Bring your night guard to dental appointments, especially for restorative
   work, so we can check for wear and fit.






PROPER CARE
INCLUDE YOUR NIGHT GUARD IN YOUR DAILY ORAL HEALTH ROUTINE FOR OPTIMAL
MAINTENANCE.



DAILY CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS



 * Immediately after wear: Rinse with warm water to remove debris and plaque.

 * Brush lightly: Use your soft-bristle toothbrush to give it a light brushing.
   Avoid toothpaste as it's too abrasive. Use liquid dish detergent with
   lukewarm water instead.

 * Dry completely: Lay it on a clean, dry washcloth on a flat surface to dry
   completely before storing.

 * Store properly: Always keep your night guard in its case when not in use.





Steps for Deep Cleaning



 1. Soak in Vinegar: Use a glass or bowl (nothing metal) and soak the night
    guard in distilled white vinegar for 30 minutes. Set a timer to avoid
    oversoaking

 2. Rinse: After soaking, rinse the night guard and bowl with lukewarm water.

 3. Soak in hydrogen peroxide: Follow up by soaking the night guard in hydrogen
    peroxide for 30 minutes to bleach discolorations and neutralize the vinegar
    taste. Set a timer to avoid oversoaking.

 4. Rinse and dry: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, place it on a clean dry
    washcloth on a flat surface, and allow it to dry completely before returning
    it to its case.

 5. Clean the case: Hand wash the case every few days with liquid dish
    detergent. Allow it to dry completely to prevent bacterial growth.





Deep Cleaning Instructions



 * Deep cleaning at least once a month; weekly is even better.

 * Avoid soaking your night guard in any liquid for longer than an hour.





By following these instructions, you'll ensure your night guard remains in
excellent condition, providing long-lasting protection for your teeth.
