Most people are unaware that they grind their teeth, because it usually occurs when we are asleep. If you awake suffering from a dull constant headache or sore jaw, you could be grinding your teeth in your sleep. Often many people discover they are grinding their teeth when heard by a loved one at night.

If you suspect you may be grinding your teeth, talk to your dentist. He or she can examine your mouth and jaw for signs of bruxism, such as jaw tenderness and excessive wear on your teeth.

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

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

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

Do you have two minutes? Because that’s all it takes to custom fit the 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.

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.

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.
