Custom-fit night guards crafted in a real dental lab by a licensed Certified Dental Technician. Stop grinding. End the headaches. Wake up rested.
Bruxism affects 1 in 3 adults — but the two existing options are either too expensive or simply don't work.
A custom night guard from a dentist runs $800–$1,200 and is rarely covered by insurance. Most patients are told to get one and never do.
Boil-and-bite pharmacy guards are bulky, fall out at night, and create uneven bite pressure that can make symptoms worse, not better.
Untreated grinding wears down enamel, cracks teeth, and leads to TMJ disorder — requiring expensive restorative work that could have been prevented with a custom guard.
Three steps from your couch to a custom guard made by a real dental technician.

"I was spending $900 at my dentist every time I needed a new guard. NiteArc gave me the exact same quality for under $120. Wish I'd found this sooner."
"My dentist looked at the guard and said it was identical to what she would have made in-office. Perfect fit, zero adjustments. Absolute game changer."
"Three different OTC guards — all fell out or made my jaw hurt more. This one fits perfectly. No more waking up with headaches. Worth every dollar."
Yes — and that's exactly our point. NiteArc guards are made in the same professional dental lab that fabricates appliances for actual dental offices. We use identical FDA-cleared materials and the same fabrication processes. The only difference: we cut out the dentist office markup (typically 300–500%) and ship direct to you.
Simple: if you grind or clench at night (morning headaches, jaw soreness, worn teeth), choose the Hybrid Guard ($119) — its hard outer shell and soft inner layer handle everything from light clenching to heavy grinding. If you catch yourself clenching during the day (at your desk, driving, in meetings), the Ultra-Thin Guard ($99) is 1mm thin, nearly invisible, and doesn't affect speech. Do both? The Night & Day Set covers you around the clock. Our CDT personally reviews every order and will reach out if we think a different option fits your case better.
We ship a complete kit with dental-grade putty, impression trays, and a step-by-step video guide. Most customers finish both upper and lower impressions in under 10 minutes. If your impressions aren't usable for any reason, we'll send a replacement kit free — no questions asked.
The Hybrid Guard typically lasts 1–3 years. The Ultra-Thin Guard typically lasts 6–12 months with daily use. Heavy grinders wear through guards faster — that's normal. All guards come with a 6-month warranty. And since we keep your impressions on file, reorders ship in 3–5 business days with no new kit needed.
Yes. Custom dental night guards are an eligible medical expense under both HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) programs. You can pay directly with your HSA/FSA card at checkout.
We guarantee a perfect fit. If your guard doesn't fit comfortably, contact us within 30 days and we'll re-fabricate it from your original impressions — or issue a full refund, your choice. Poor fit is rare; we've been fabricating custom dental appliances professionally for over a decade.
No. NiteArc guards are available directly to consumers without a prescription. We do recommend that customers with known TMJ disorders, bite alignment issues, or recent dental work consult their dentist before ordering.
