A mouthguard is a removable cover worn over the teeth to protect them from damage. A night guard (also written nightguard) is a type of mouthguard worn during sleep to protect the teeth from grinding and clenching, while a sports mouthguard protects the teeth and mouth from injury during sport. At Endocare Dental & Maxillofacial Clinic in Lucknow, mouthguards and night guards are custom made from impressions of your teeth, so they fit closely and comfortably. The dentist first examines your teeth and jaw to recommend the right type of guard for your needs.

All About Mouthguards and Night Guards
What Are Mouthguards and Night Guards?
Mouthguards and night guards are thin, removable appliances made of plastic or similar material that sit over the upper or lower teeth. They act as a cushion and barrier, taking the force that would otherwise wear down, crack or injure your teeth.
A night guard is mainly used for bruxism, the habit of grinding or clenching the teeth (दांत पीसना), which often happens during sleep without a person noticing. A sports mouthguard (खेल माउथगार्ड) is worn during contact sports and active games to lower the risk of broken teeth, cut lips and jaw injuries.
A guard protects your teeth, but it does not cure the cause of grinding. Your dentist may also look at related factors such as stress, sleep or jaw problems.
Types of Guards
The right guard depends on why you need it:
- Custom night guards are made for grinding and clenching. They come in hard, soft and dual-layer versions, and the dentist chooses the type based on how heavily you grind.
- Custom sports mouthguards are thicker guards designed to absorb impact during sport, for both children and adults.
- Over-the-counter guards, such as stock and boil-and-bite guards, are sold in shops and are not made from impressions of your teeth.

Not everyone who grinds needs a guard straight away. Your dentist will explain whether a guard is the right first step for you.

Caring for Your Mouthguard or Night Guard
Good care keeps your guard clean and helps it last longer:
- Rinse it with cool water after each use and brush it gently with a soft toothbrush
- Avoid hot water, which can warp the shape
- Let it dry fully and store it in a ventilated case
- Keep it away from pets and direct sunlight
- Bring it to your dental checkups so the fit can be checked
Replace your guard if it cracks, becomes loose or no longer fits well.
How Much Do Night Guards and Mouthguards Cost in Lucknow?
The cost of a night guard or mouthguard in Lucknow depends on the type of guard and the material used. A custom guard costs more than an over-the-counter one, because it is made from impressions of your own teeth.
The main factors that affect the cost are:
- The type of guard, such as a night guard or sports guard
- The material, whether hard, soft or dual-layer
- Whether the guard is for one or both jaws
- Follow-up visits for adjustments
A consultation gives you an accurate estimate for the guard that suits your needs.

Reviews
Real stories of exceptional care and transformative smiles
I had a wonderful experience meeting Dr. Anupam. I had searched for him online, but after meeting Dr. Sir at the clinic, I initiated treatment. I had cavities in my molars. Dr. Sir performed an RCT on me, which was done in a single visit and was completely painless. Two days later, I measured for a crown, and today the crown was fitted. It felt very good. Doctor, your good effort saved my molars. I’m happy and satisfied. Thank you.
It was a very good experience. I got RCT done on one of my wife’s teeth and got a crown fitted at Endocarditis Dental clinic. There was no major problem. Dr. Anupam Gupta Sir, who is an Endodontist, gave a very good treatment. My wife is very satisfied, thank you Sir.
I got my son treated at Endocare Dental Clinic. Sir gave him a very good treatment. My son is 6 years old. He had cavities in his teeth. Sir gave him a very good treatment. Dr. Anupam Sir explained very well and was very friendly. My son got the treatment done comfortably. There was no problem. I am very satisfied with this treatment. This is the best dental clinic for children. Thank you Sir.
I visited Endocare Dental Clinic for the surgical extraction of a severely impacted wisdom tooth after enduring nearly a month of intense pain that left me unable to eat solid food and dependent on a liquid diet. From my very first consultation, Dr. Anjali Gupta, Dr Anupam and their team provided exceptional care, professionalism, and reassurance.

Endocare Dental & Maxillofacial Clinic provides custom mouthguards and night guards in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. If you are searching for a night guard near me, you can book a consultation to have your teeth and jaw examined and find out which guard suits your needs.
The cost of a night guard in Lucknow depends on the type of guard, the material and whether it covers one or both jaws. A custom night guard costs more than a store-bought one because it is made to fit your teeth. A consultation is the most reliable way to get an accurate price.
No, a standard night guard is designed to protect teeth from grinding and does not treat snoring or sleep apnea. If you snore loudly, wake up gasping or feel very tired during the day, see a doctor, as these can be signs of a sleep breathing problem that needs proper assessment.
A night guard can help some people with jaw joint pain by reducing the strain from grinding and clenching. It is not a cure for every TMJ problem, and the right treatment depends on the cause. Your dentist will assess your jaw and may combine a guard with other care if needed.
A custom night guard usually fits better, feels more comfortable and stays in place more reliably than an over-the-counter guard, because it is made from impressions of your teeth. Store-bought guards cost less but can feel bulky, and a poorly fitting guard may affect your bite. Your dentist can explain which option suits you.
A night guard often lasts from one to several years, depending on the material, how heavily you grind and how well you care for it. Heavy grinders may wear through a guard faster. Replace it if it cracks, thins out or stops fitting well, and bring it to checkups so your dentist can review it.
Yes, night guards work well to protect teeth from grinding and clenching. They act as a barrier that absorbs the force and reduces wear, chips and cracks. A night guard does not stop the grinding habit itself, so your dentist may also look at causes such as stress, sleep or jaw problems.
