🛡️ Why x2Guard™ Is Different — In 5 Key Ways
Choosing the right nightguard isn’t just about comfort — it’s about safety, technology, and performance. At x2Guard™, we’ve reimagined what a nightguard should be. Here’s how we lead in five essential categories:
1. Material
x2Guard™ uses medical-grade 3D resin — FDA-approved, biocompatible, and non-carcinogenic. It’s built to last under pressure and heat.
x2Guard™: High-durability resin that resists wear and warping.
Other Nightguards: Softer plastics that crack, deform, or irritate.
Property | x2Guard™ | Other Nightguards |
---|---|---|
Mechanical Strength | ✅ High durability — resists wear | ❌ Wears down and cracks easily |
Heat Resistance | ✅ Heat-stable — holds shape | ❌ Softens or warps with heat |
2. Technology
Each guard is digitally designed (CAD) and 3D printed for precision. No guesswork, no hand trimming — just perfect digital accuracy.
x2Guard™: Fully computer-designed and 3D printed.
Other Nightguards: Thermo-formed or hand-crafted with no digital input.
Process | x2Guard™ | Other Nightguards |
---|---|---|
Design Method | ✅ Fully computer-aided | ❌ No computer design |
Production Technology | ✅ Fully 3D printed | ❌ Thermo-formed or hand-crafted |
3. Protection
x2Guard™ offers a dual-arch system — protect upper and lower teeth together, or just one. Choose from 3 levels of protection based on your needs.
x2Guard™: Dual or single-arch options with high, moderate, or mild protection.
Other Nightguards: Protects only one jaw — limited flexibility.
Feature | x2Guard™ | Other Nightguards |
---|---|---|
Jaw Protection | ✅ Protects upper and lower teeth — together or separately | ❌ Single arch — protects only one jaw |
Protection Level | ✅ 3-level protection: high (dual), moderate (upper), mild (lower) | ❌ 1-level protection |
4. Impression Accuracy
We send 10–15× more material and multiple tray sizes for the best home impression. Then, our AI merges your best attempts into one precise model.
x2Guard™: More material + tray options + AI = superior accuracy.
Other Nightguards: Only 1–2 tries with fixed trays and manual lab work.
Feature | x2Guard™ | Other Nightguards |
---|---|---|
Home Impression Material | ✅ 10–15× more material for multiple home attempts | ❌ Limited supply — only 1 or 2 tries |
Home Tray Variety | ✅ Multiple tray sizes for better fit | ❌ 1–2 sizes — poor fit risk |
Lab Processing | ✅ AI merges your best attempts into one accurate final impression | ❌ Manual processing — higher error rate |
5. Occlusion System
Our unique design pairs one flat guard with one that has anatomical hills (tubercles) to mimic natural jaw movement — reducing stress on your teeth and joints.
x2Guard™: Gliding motion minimizes pressure on teeth, muscles, and TMJ.
Other Nightguards: Blocky or flat-on-flat designs that cause tension and resistance.
Feature | x2Guard™ | Other Nightguards |
---|---|---|
Design Method | ✅ Flat + rounded tubercles (dual-surface design) | ❌ Blocking surfaces |
Jaw Movement | ✅ Allows smooth, natural gliding | ❌ May resist motion, cause friction |
Stress Impact | ✅ Reduces stress on teeth, muscles, and TMJ | ❌ Can increase pressure on jaw and joints |
System Approach | ✅ Glide Occlusion System — fully CAD-designed | ❌ Occlusion is not considered |
Performance
Why x2Guard™ Outperforms Others
✅ Dual Jaw Protection
Protects both jaws — no tooth left exposed during grinding.
✅ 3 Protection Levels
Wear the lower guard, upper guard, or both based on grinding severity (bruxism or clenching):
• Mild: Lower guard only
• Moderate: Upper guard only
• Heavy: Both guards together
✅ Glide Grinding
Occurs when wearing the upper or both guards — allows smooth jaw movement and relieves pressure on teeth, TMJ, and muscles.
Performance
Why Others Underperform vs x2Guard™
❌ Single Jaw Protection
Protects only one jaw — leaving the other exposed to grinding damage.
❌ Limited Protection Levels
No flexibility to adjust for mild, moderate, or heavy grinding (bruxism, clenching).
❌ Blocky Grinding
Adds pressure to teeth, TMJ, and chewing muscles due to poor glide movement.
