A professionally made nightguard is custom fitted and usually made of hard acrylic. The athletic guard from a Sporting Goods Store is usually soft and "boil/mold". It acts only as a cushion between the teeth to help avoid fractures from sports injury. Grinding may even be aggravated with such an athletic guard.
