SOVA Night Guard – For Night Grinding of Teeth and Bruxism

As many as 1 in 5 grind their teeth, although many of us don’t even know it. Teeth grinding, otherwise known as bruxism is the involuntary grinding and clenching of teeth that usually happens during sleep.

The non-compressible, perforated materials is designed to distribute pressure and allow the natural flow of air and saliva to protect growing jaws and teeth from the effects of teeth grinding, TMJ and Bruxism.

Not only can bruxism affect your teeth it can also affect your jaw, creating aches and pains and can lead to regular headaches.

The SOVA night guard, powered by Diffusix technology, is scientifically designed to protect your teeth from grinding.

What Causes Teeth Grinding?

Teeth grinding can be caused by a number of factors including stress and anxiety. It can also occur as a result of an abnormal bite, missing or crooked teeth and consumption of elicit drugs. Sleep disorders such as sleep apnea have also been proven to cause teeth grinding.

The Solution that Changed the Industry

SOVA is remoldable, to create the best possible custom fit in a matter of minutes. It’s so comfortable; you will not know you are wearing it. The result: an immediate and affordable alternative solution for nighttime grind protection.

Made from tough polymer material with a flat occlusal surface and perforated labial and lingual flanges, the thermoplastic material has a high tensile strength and is biocompatible and BPA-free.

SOVA starts as a flat, horseshoe-shape. After immersion in 160˚F water, the material becomes pliable and is then molded against the teeth until it becomes hardened in one simple step.

The Science Behind SOVA

The SOVA night guard is:

Diffusix Technology

SOVA Night Guards are made with Diffusix technology which absorbs and diffuses impact throughout the entire guard. Less impact force is transferred to your teeth during the night.

Diffusix technology works with unique perforations and special ‘crumple zones’ which prevent impact forces from traveling to your teeth, relieving pain and reducing the risk of dental injury.

Custom Comfort

SOVA Night Guard provides a snug, custom fit, with perforations that allow air to freely flow through the guard, helping you to breathe easy and always providing maximum comfort.

While many night guards are easy to chew through, SOVA Night Guard material is 8 times tougher and 30-50% stronger than conventional EVA night guard material. SOVA will last no matter how much you clench or grind, backed by our market leading 120 day warranty.

Remould-able

SOVA Night Guard can also be remoulded up to 20 times. So whether you’re looking to try a new fit or your child’s mouth is growing , SOVA allows you to adjust over time, and maintain a perfect fit.

How it Works

Designed to withstand 30% more impact than a conventional mouth guard, SOVA’s scientifically engineered crumple zones prevent residual force of impact from travelling to your teeth. When a SOVA Night Guard is properly fitted, perforations oscillate on impact, dissipating grinding forces and guiding those forces into the crumple zones.

So, Why The Perforations?

Designed for better durability and impact resistance, the perforations allow for a custom fit and natural flow of air and saliva. Designed from the concept of bridge building engineering, the perforations oscillate during night grinding and spread the impact forces through the surface of the guard and away from your teeth.

FAQ

Q Is it just one piece?

It comes with one SOVA Nightguard. It can be worn on either the upper or lower, but 99% of our customers wear it on the upper. There really is no need to wear one on both the upper and lower.

 

Q Will this product fit everyone?

Q Can this product help to reduce snoring?

The SOVA Night Guard is not designed to help snoring. It is designed to help with bruxism.

 

Is this product a hard plastic after the molding process or is it “gummy”?

The product comes hard, becomes soft and pliable when heated in water, and then becomes hard again once molded.

 

is this workable all day?

The SOVA Night Guard can be comfortably worn during the day. When you are speaking you will be able to tell that you are wearing a mouth guard, however, your speech will be clearly understood.

 

Can this mouth guard be worn for sports athletes playing basketball, baseball or football?

The SOVA Night Guard is designed to protect teeth from forces caused by grinding and clenching. It is not intended to be worn like a mouth guard for sports.

 

When or how often should the night guard be replaced?

We recommend you replace your SOVA Night Guard once per year for sanitary reasons. With excellent care, a light grinder may not need to replace it as often. Below are some tips for caring for your SOVA.

CARE AND STORING YOUR SOVA NIGHT GUARD

* Clean your guard with a toothbrush and non-whitening toothpaste or mild soap.

* You can also soak it in 3% hydrogen peroxide for no more than 10 minutes.

* Do NOT use denture tablets, dish soap, or mouthwash.

* AVOID products containing alcohol (hand-sanitizer, etc.) or harsh cleansers (bleach, etc.).

* Do not wash your guard in the dishwasher or expose it to extreme heat.

* Keep out of direct sunlight.

* Carefully rinse and dry before storing your guard at room temperature.

Fitting

Do you have two minutes?
BECAUSE THAT IS HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CUSTOM FIT YOUR SOVA NIGHT GUARD!

Just follow these simple step-by-step instructions, and after about two minutes you’ll end up with a highly customised mouth guard.

Fitting Checklist

• Bowl
• Hot, but not boiling, water 71˚C
• Fork or similar utensil
• Mirror

Instructions

1. Wash your hands and the material with soap and water.
2. Heat water to about 71°C (160°F) for example in a kettle, on the hob or in a microwave oven. Immerse the mouth guard in hot, but not boiling water until the material becomes soft and pliable. Then lift up the material with a fork or your fingers. Please note that the coloured mouth guard may take a little longer to soften.
3. Hold the soft material as shown in the picture. DO NOT LET IT FOLD!
4. Bite down gently on the solid front bar, then press the tongue against the material to hold it in place.
5. Use a mirror. Mould it against the front of the teeth with your fingertips and up on the sides to the gum line to create the shield. Make sure most of the material is on the outside of the teeth. The material will not extend to the gum line.
6. Close the lips over the mouth guard and gently create suction until the material has hardened. This will ensure a snug fit within a minute or so. If you are not satisfied with the result just slip the mouth guard back in the water, let it soften and straighten out and then start over.

Unhappy with your fit? NO PROBLEM! Every SOVA Night Guard is remouldable up to 20 times. Simply place your formed SOVA back in the hot water, let it soften and straighten out, and there you go! Time for Round Two.

Here’s a list of things to consider when fitting your SOVA

DO THIS:

• Use water that is hot to the touch to activate your mouth guard
• Mold your SOVA around all of your teeth (including molars)
• Mold the material to cover entire tooth surface area
• Suck in air gently, creating a snug but till comfortable fit

DON’T DO THIS:

• Use boiling water to mold your SOVA!
• Leave your back teeth exposed!
• Overly stretch the material, creating too-large perforations
• Suck-in air too enthusiastically, creating a fit that’s too tight.
