Protect and Maintain Your Smile with Nightguards and Retainers

At Mermaid Smiles, your comfort and long-term oral health are at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re safeguarding your smile from night-time grinding or keeping teeth in perfect alignment after orthodontic treatment, our custom nightguards and retainers are designed to fit beautifully and feel effortless.

These small, invisible appliances can make a big difference in preserving your dental investment — and your peace of mind.

What’s the Difference?

While both nightguards and retainers are custom-made clear trays, they serve different purposes:

Nightguards protect your teeth from grinding or clenching (bruxism) while you sleep.

Retainers help maintain the position of your teeth after orthodontic treatment, like Invisalign or braces.

Nightguards for Teeth Grinding

A nightguard acts as a protective barrier between your teeth, absorbing the pressure and preventing long-term damage.

Worn, chipped, or flattened teeth

Morning headaches or jaw soreness

Clicking or tension in the jaw

Sensitive teeth

Trouble sleeping or frequent waking

Retainers to Hold Your Smile in Place

After orthodontic treatment, retainers are key to keeping your new smile aligned. A custom retainer helps preserve the results you worked hard to achieve.

Retainers are recommended after Invisalign or braces

Following cosmetic dental treatment (e.g. veneers or bonding)

If you’ve had previous orthodontic relapse

To maintain bite alignment and facial symmetry
