Child Teeth Grinding: Custom Fit Dental Night Guard SOVA Junior (1.6mm thin)

DIFFUSIX TECHNOLOGY: The scientifically designed perforations and crumple zones prevent the forces of teeth grinding and jaw clenching to relieve pain and reduce the likelihood of dental injury. The perforations oscillate on impact and carry those forces towards the crumple zones and away from your teeth.

The SOVA Night Guards are scientifically designed to fit cross the front 6-6 teeth when used on the upper jaw. This means that subsequent molars behind are not directly covered but importantly, receive indirection protection as well. The concept is that the 1.6mm-2.4mm (thickness depending on the selected SOVA Night Guard model) barrier that is between your front 6-6 teeth will also prevent the back molars from being able to come together or grinding. This enables the guard to be less intrusive in the mouth and more comfortable during sleep.

CUSTOM FIT: Simply place the SOVA Junior Night Guard in a bowl of hot water to start the custom-fit process at home. The SOVA Junior guard will become pliable, so that you can easily mould the night guard to the exact custom fit for your child’s teeth. No dental impression is required, so your child should go through the fitting with ease; but don’t worry, we’ve included instructions to help you know how to fit the night guard on small little patients just in case.

REMOULDABLE: Didn’t get the fit right the first time? Simply place the SOVA Junior back into hot water; it will return to its flat form. The SOVA guards are remouldable up to 20 times, so they can be remoulded as your child grows.

DENTAL WARRANTY: Your children’s teeth deserve an insurance policy as well, so each SOVA Night Guard comes with a 120 day durability warranty.

TALK, BREATHE & DRINK: The 1.6mm thickness and custom fit combine to ensure that your child can talk, breathe and drink with ease, which will ensure a better night’s sleep for all members of the household.

FITTING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Wash your hands and the material with mild soap and water.

2. Heat water in a small glass bowl (hot to the touch but not boiling). Immerse the night guard in hot, but not boiling water until the material becomes soft and pliable. Then lift up the material with a fork or your fingers.

3. Hold the soft material as shown in the picture. DO NOT LET IT FOLD!

4. Bite down gently on the solid front bar then press the tongue against the material to hold it in place.

5. Use a mirror. Mold it against the front of the teeth with your fingertips and up on the sides to the gum line to create the shield. Make sure most of the material is on the outside of the teeth. The material will not extend to the gum line.

6. Close the lips over the night guard and gently create suction until the material has hardened. This will ensure a snug fit within a minute or so. If you are not satisfied with the result just slip the night guard back in the water, let it soften and straighten out and then start over.

Did you mess up? Unhappy with your fit? Every SOVA guard is remoldable up to 20 times. Simply place your formed SOVA back in the hot water, let it soften and straighten out, and there you go!

FITTING WITH CHILDREN:

• If your child has braces, use an adult sized guard and have their night guard fitted by their orthodontist
• Watch the fitting video with your child
• Allow ample time for fitting (we recommend two days before needed if possible)
• Identify the bite pad on the guard, and practice aligning it with the teeth before softening the guard for the first time
• The guard is formed by using gentle vacuum pressure (suction). Re-familiarize your child with the concept of suction; grab a straw and practice
• If you become frustrated. Stop and take a break!
