CLINICAL INDICATIONS
Night Guard Types by Strength
Our lab offers a comprehensive range of appliances, precision-engineered from resilient soft materials for patient compliance to high-impact rigid polymers for severe bruxers.
01
Drufosoft
Soft EVA material (3.0mm); indicated for superior patient comfort and light diagnostic relief.
02
C+ Essix
Low-profile (1.0mm) thermoplastic appliance; provides moderate protection for bruxism and orthodontic stability.
03
Kombiplast
Resilient dual-laminate (2.0mm); combines a soft pressure-bonded internal liner with a hard acrylic occlusal shell.
04
Thermoflex
Advanced thermodynamic polymer; individually CAD designed for the most optimal fit. Softens in warm water to provide custom retention and high durability.
05
Hard Acrylic
Rigid cold-cure acrylic; indicated for severe bruxism with multiple variations and trimming options for upper and lower dentition, including Gelb appliances.
Optimized Occlusal Precision
Dual-laminate materials and thermoformed durability for superior clinical outcomes. Our guards provide a predictable fit for complex occlusal schemes and comprehensive restorative protection.
Predictable Lab Workflow
Digital scan integration and rapid turnaround for a streamlined workspace. We collaborate on case selection and material indications to ensure a seamless chairside experience for your practice.
Maintenance & Patient Education Protocols
Sterilization Protocols
Advise patients to rinse the appliance immediately after use. For clinical sanitization, use specialized orthodontic cleaners to prevent plaque accumulation without degrading the polymer matrix.
Clinicians should warn against abrasive dentifrices that can cause microscopic surface pitting and biofilm retention.
Material Integrity
Maintaining material stability is critical for preserving appliance fit. High-heat exposure can leading to thermal warping or delamination of dual-laminate structures.
Instruct patients on the chemical sensitivity of dental-grade acrylics to preserve the artisanal bond and occlusal scheme.
Long-term Storage
Ensuring proper storage is vital for clinical longevity. Guards should remain in their protective cases when not in occlusal contact to maintain jaw alignment settings.
Regular monitoring of material wear during follow-up visits ensures continued protection for restorative cases and patient safety.
Sleep Apnea Devices (D-SAD)
Cornerstone Orthodontic Laboratory partners with dentists and orthodontists to create custom mandibular advancement devices for obstructive sleep apnea patients, focusing on airway patency and patient comfort.
- Clinical Indications: Ideal for mild–moderate OSA and CPAP-intolerant patients seeking non-invasive therapeutic alternatives.
- Advanced Design: Custom-fit appliances featuring titratable, adjustable advancement settings for precise airway titration.
- Lab Support: Expert case planning and comprehensive bite registration guidance to ensure predictable clinical outcomes.
