Night Guards and Oral Appliances
Custom Protection for Your Smile, Day or Night
Teeth grinding, jaw pain, and orthodontic relapse can all take a toll on your oral health. At Mend Dental in Irvine, we offer a range of custom oral appliances — including night guards, bite splints, and retainers — to help protect your teeth, relieve discomfort, and support long-term results.
Every appliance is digitally designed using our iTero scanner to ensure a comfortable, secure fit.

What Are Oral Appliances?
Oral appliances are custom-made devices worn in the mouth to support healthy jaw function, prevent damage, and maintain alignment. We provide solutions for:
- Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)
- TMJ disorders or jaw pain
- Retention after Invisalign or braces
- Protection for crowns, veneers, and dental work
- Athletic mouthguards (available upon request)
Types of Appliances We Offer

Night Guards
Custom night guards protect your teeth from grinding and clenching while you sleep. They reduce wear, prevent fractures, and help relieve jaw tension or headaches caused by nighttime habits.

Bite Splints
Bite splints are designed to reposition your jaw and ease stress on the TMJ. They’re ideal for patients with more advanced symptoms like jaw pain, popping, or chronic tension.

Retainers
Clear retainers help keep your teeth in place after Invisalign or braces. They’re custom-made, comfortable, and essential for maintaining your smile long-term.

How Do I Choose?
Not sure whether you need a night guard, bite splint, or retainer? We’re here to help. At Mend Dental, we start with a personalized consultation and a detailed assessment of your teeth, bite, and jaw. Using advanced digital scanning, we’ll evaluate your symptoms, discuss your lifestyle, and recommend the appliance that best fits your needs.
Book your consultation today to take the first step toward protecting your smile and improving your comfort.

Clear retainers and night guards may look similar to Invisalign trays, but they serve very different purposes. Invisalign is designed to actively move your teeth using a series of aligners over time, while retainers are made to hold your teeth in place after treatment, and night guards are built to absorb pressure from grinding or clenching.
Each appliance is custom-made, but only Invisalign aligners are used for straightening teeth. If you’re unsure what you need, we’re happy to help you decide.
