- Clear price, clarity, and durability tradeoffs for every option — no guesswork when prescribing
YOUR OPTIONS
What We Offer
Not every patient needs the same guard. Some are grinding hard enough to need maximum durability; others just need something comfortable enough to actually wear every night. Here's how our four options compare, so you can match the right guard to the right patient.
| Guard Type | Material | Application | Turnaround | Price | Clarity | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Comfort Printed (Most Prescribed) | Keystone KeySplint Resin | 3D-printed, digitally designed for optimal fit, tailored to each patient's unique anatomy | 7 days | $$ | ||
| Soft | Erkodent Erkoflex (Thermoformed) | Most comfortable option, especially for first-time wearers — but offers the least protection against heavy grinding | 8 days | $ | ||
| Hard/Soft | Erkodent Erkoloc-pro (Thermoformed) | A balance between Hard and Soft — hard outer shell with a soft inner lining | 8 days | $$$ | ||
| Hard | Keystone KeySplint Hard Resin | Most durable, most effective against heavy grinding — but less comfortable than the softer options | 8 days | $$$ |
The Details
- New to occlusal guards, or mild grinding?Start with Soft — most comfortable, fastest to adapt to, though it offers the least protection.
- Moderate grinding, want durability without sacrificing comfort?Hard/Soft splits the difference with a hard shell and soft lining.
- Heavy grinders who need maximum protection?Hard is the most durable and effective option, at the cost of some comfort.
- Want the best overall balance of comfort, precision, and durability?Comfort Printed is Paramount's most prescribed option — 3D-printed and digitally tailored to each patient's anatomy.
