When Night Guards Protect Teeth and Prevent Patient Pain, Lab Precision Matters

A poorly fitting night guard is not comfortable — and a night guard that is uncomfortable does not get worn. Patients who invest in night guard therapy expect a restoration that feels natural, sits securely, and does not cause gum irritation. At iCare Lab, we understand that comfort is non-negotiable. We fabricate night guards from high-impact acrylic with smooth finishing that does not irritate soft tissue. We adjust the bite contacts so the guard seats evenly without putting pressure on any single tooth. Your patient puts on the night guard on the first night and it feels right — not a restoration that requires two adjustment appointments before becoming tolerable.

How It Works

Your Orthodontic Case — Step by Step

From the moment you send your impression to the moment the appliance arrives at your practice — here’s exactly what happens at iCare Lab.

Submit Your Impression

Post alginate impression, bite registration, shade prescription (if applicable), and any clinical notes. For digital cases, send IOS scan file. Specify appliance type, material preference, and any patient-specific requirements.

Fabricate to Prescription

Designs and fabricates the appliance to your exact specification. For night guards, bite contacts are verified. For retainers, fit is checked on the model. For bleaching trays, wall thickness is verified for even distribution.

Finish & Polish

Appliance is trimmed, finished, and hand-polished to a smooth, comfortable surface. All edges beveled to prevent soft tissue irritation. Final quality check performed before packaging.

FAQ

Orthodontic & Splint Appliances — Common Questions

Everything dentists ask before sending us their first orthodontic case.
Still Have a Question?

Call or WhatsApp your technician directly. Same-day replies guaranteed.

7 working days from receipt of impression for standard night guards. Digital scan submissions are slightly faster — typically 3 working days. Express service available if you have an urgent case — contact your named technician directly and we can often expedite within 24–48 hours.
High-impact acrylic is standard and most durable. For patients with sensitive gums or thin gingival tissue, a soft-lined option is better — the cushioned surface prevents irritation. For heavy bruxers or patients with very strong bite forces, a thicker (3–4mm) high-impact guard provides additional protection.
Night guards from £45 for standard high-impact acrylic. Soft-lined options from £65. Bleaching trays from £25. Essix retainers from £35 per unit. Sports mouthguards from £55. Full pricing at iCare Lab Prices — no phone calls required.
Essix (clear thermoplastic) retainers are nearly invisible, aesthetic, and removable by the patient. Wire retainers (bonded) are fixed to the lingual surfaces and invisible when mouth is closed. Both work — Essix for aesthetics, wire for guaranteed retention. Some clinicians use both — Essix during the day, wire for night stability.
Absolutely. Custom bleaching trays are for any patient wanting take-home whitening. Just send an impression of the teeth you want to whiten — upper, lower, or both. We fabricate to fit precisely so bleach doesn’t leak onto soft tissue.
Yes. Sports mouthguards can be fabricated in team colours or club colours if requested. Standard colours include clear, black, white, red, blue, and green. Just specify the colour on your prescription when ordering.
