The Hushd Guard is an occlusal splint, intended to protect the teeth and jaw from bruxism (grinding) during sleep. It is designed to relieve jaw muscle tension and joint pain, as well as reducing the associated noise of bruxism.

Customers interested in trying an occlusal splint can purchase the Hushd Guard over the counter at Pharmacies and Sleep Clinics who stock it, or via the Good Sleep Co. online shop. The package includes everything they need to get started, including instructions for how to fit the device at home.
Before using the device it needs to be molded. The user takes the Upper splint (U), which is recessed in a plastic fork for use of handling, and places it in 90°C hot water for 2 minutes to soften it. They then mold the splint to the upper teeth, by biting down into it for 1 minute. After that they remove it and place it in cold water to set.
Once the device is molded, it is used overnight (or when sleeping), by placing it between the upper and lower teeth. After use, the device should be removed, cleaned, and stored safely in the supplied storage dish.
