Frequently Inquired Questions

A：This is a cross breed plan. The delicate interior embraces your teeth tenderly, making it much less demanding to rest in. The difficult exterior anticipates bite-through, making it perfect for moderate-to-heavy processors who require both consolation and security.

Q：Is the hard soft night guard durable enough if I am a heavy grinder?
