Hard/Soft 3D Printed Night Guards
A harmonizing combination of strength to fight bruxism with softening thermodynamic flexibility for cloud-like comfort. This is the next evolution in night guard technology. Hard/Soft 3D Printed night guards are digitally designed and then 3D Printed, giving these guards a similar durability to hard material night guards with thermodynamic softening technology.

Hard/Soft 3D printed night guard ideal use
Our Hard/Soft 3D printed night guards have a similar durability to hard material night guards but also include thermodynamic softening technology. This allows our 3D printed night guards to be heated up and then become more adjustable and moldable.
This is the Dandy recommended night guard because it’s highly versatile. They fit great, have a very accurate and precise fabrication process, and allow for an easy seating process when immersed in warm water before seating on the patient’s arch
Then at room temperature the 3D printed night guard will feel more rigid than a Hard/Soft. It’s important to note that unlike a standard Hard/Soft night guard, the Hard/Soft 3D printed night guard softens after being heated up. In fact, after your patient wears the Hard/Soft 3D printed night guard, it will become softer as the patient’s body temperature warms it up.
Digital design changes everything.

We’ve been very happy with Hard/Soft 3D printed night guards from Dandy. The comfort and durability of the material has been highly effective for my patients with bruxism and TMD

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Our 3D printed hard/soft is a one-piece printed splint, while our regular hard/soft is a dual-laminate analog produced splint. The 3D printed splint gets its “softness” from thermodynamic softening technology, while the inner layer of the hard/soft is softer than the outside.
Our Hard/Soft 3D Printed night guard is our recommended splint. We believe it’s capabilities prove to be a great alternative to your regular hard/soft.
Yes, we only produce our night guards with biocompatible FDA 510K approved resins.
