🛡️ 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.
