nightguards
Dental grinding shields
Nightguards are protective dental devices worn during sleep to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching.
Custom-fitted by dentists or purchased over the counter, they cushion the teeth and reduce wear: My dentist recommended a nightguard for my grinding.
The term also refers to security personnel who work overnight shifts.
