Common questions about orthodontic appliances

What is the difference between a night guard and a retainer?

A retainer holds teeth in position after orthodontic treatment, while a night guard is designed to protect teeth from the effects of grinding or clenching during sleep. The two serve different clinical purposes even though both are worn over the teeth.

Can mouthguards be made from a digital scan?

Yes. Classic Dental Lab accepts digital scans as well as traditional impressions for retainers, night guards, and mouthguards, giving practices flexibility in how cases are submitted.
