The Soft Night Guard is a 3mm EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) appliance covering the full arch or posterior teeth only. It cushions occlusal forces and protects teeth from wear in patients with mild bruxism.
Components
• Soft EVA Material — 3mm thickness, Shore A 80-90 • Full-Arch or Posterior Coverage — Per prescription • Thermoformed — Vacuum-formed over printed model • No Clasps — Friction retention
How It Works
The soft, resilient material absorbs occlusal forces that would otherwise be transmitted to tooth structure. By providing a protective cushion between the arches, it prevents enamel wear, abfraction lesions, and cusp fracture in mild-to-moderate bruxers.
Digital Workflow
1. Intraoral scan 2. 3D-print model 3. Heat EVA sheet to 180-200°C in vacuum former 4. Vacuum-form over model 5. Trim to prescribed coverage — gingival margin + 2mm 6. Flame-polish edges 7. QC: Material thickness, edge smoothness, fit
Manufacturing Standard
• Material: EVA, 3mm, Shore A 80-90, BPA-free • Fabrication: Vacuum thermoforming • Coverage: Full arch or posterior per prescription • Edge extension: 2mm beyond gingival margin • Lifespan: 6-12 months (replace when worn) • QC: Thickness verification, edge finish, fit check
