Oral health is such an important aspect to our daily lives. Our teeth do many functions for us including helping form words, chewing our food and protecting our tongue. It’s important to keep our teeth in the best shape to avoid any health issues. When you’ve had your teeth straightened by aligners or braces, you will need to wear a retainer for the rest of your life at night. What if you happen to grind your teeth too? Do retainers prevent teeth grinding?
When you grind or clench your teeth, the force that you exert onto them can be extremely damaging. This force is strong enough to chip, crack, and grind down your teeth after years or even months of intense teeth grinding. While your teeth are protected against shifting when you wear retainers, do retainers prevent teeth grinding?
Retainers are crafted to keep your teeth in place and prevent shifting. Your teeth will always want to return to their natural positions using “elastic memory” this term means that no matter how long it’s been since they’ve been shifted, they will want to return to their “natural” position. It could be three decades, three years, or three weeks since you’ve finished aligners or braces and your teeth will still want to return to their original spot. A retainer will prevent that which is why they are crucial to wear every night because wearing one “tricks” your teeth into their new position. Do retainers prevent teeth grinding?
If you grind your teeth too, you are likely deciding between a night guard and retainers. Well now, you don’t have to. Do retainers prevent teeth grinding? They do prevent some damage, but you will likely wear through them quickly. If you find yourself grinding down your retainers every six months, this means you are grinding your teeth while you sleep. Fortunately, there is a solution now that gives you the best protection of both worlds.

SportingSmiles has come up with a night guard retainer that will keep your teeth in place while protecting your teeth from the damage done by teeth grinding. Most retainers are 1mm thick, but these special retainers are 1.5mm thick and made from premium material that is more durable against grinding. Do retainers prevent teeth grinding? No, but they can prevent the damage done by them if you wear the night guard retainer.
You can order a night guard retainer from SportingSmiles and complete the entire process from your home. With free shipping, SportingSmiles will send you their patented impression kit where you will take impressions at home, and then send them back to our dental lab. Once there, our expert dental lab techs will craft you these innovative retainers that protect both the placement of your teeth and the damage from teeth grinding.
So retainers prevent teeth grinding? No, they don’t prevent it but when you wear them they can help in preventing the damage that can happen from this dangerous habit. If you are wearing through your retainers within six months you have two options. You can purchase the retainer subscription service from SportingSmiles which will deliver a new set of retainers automatically to your doorstep every six months, or you can order the night guard retainer that is designed to withstand clenching and grinding.
A night guard retainer isn’t really something your dentist would craft you and if they do, it will be a very expensive bill. At SportingSmiles it is a $170 product, but at the dentist, you are looking at a bill between $500 and $1,400. The larger the city, the bigger the bill. Keep your teeth protected with SportingSmiles. Do retainers prevent teeth grinding? No, but you can still protect your teeth by wearing these special retainers.
