What material and design options does CLEARguard™ offer, and which one should I choose?
CLEARguard is available in three options, each engineered for a different patient profile:
| Option | Material | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| CLEARguard Hard | Dental LT Clear Resin (V2) | A standard hard splint for protection and splint therapy |
| CLEARguard Hard with Memory Liner | Astron | Patients who benefit from a hard exterior with a conforming inner liner for retention and comfort |
| CLEARguard Semi-Soft | Keysoft splint material | Patients who want added comfort and a more forgiving fit |
How to choose. In ROE's guidance video, Chris from ROE Lab explains that the right recommendation depends on the patient's habits, including their bruxing and grinding patterns and whether a TMJ situation is involved. There is no single answer for every patient, so the selection should follow the clinical picture.
That said, ROE reports that the Semi-Soft option is the most popular choice. The reason: once it is seated in the mouth it warms up and gains a slight flex, which makes it more comfortable for the patient and helps it fit better. In the video, the Semi-Soft guard is shown coming out of warm water with a noticeably flexible feel.
For help matching an option to a specific case, ROE offers Chairside Support and case planning from its team of Certified Dental Technicians.
