<p data-start="224" data-end="594">If you wake up with jaw soreness, headaches, or worn-down teeth, you may be experiencing <strong data-start="313" data-end="324">bruxism &mdash; the involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth during sleep.

<h3 data-start="601" data-end="634">What Is a Hybrid Night Guard?</h3>
<p data-start="636" data-end="691">A <strong data-start="638" data-end="660">hybrid night guard is designed with two layers:

<ul data-start="692" data-end="874">
<li data-start="692" data-end="777">
<p data-start="694" data-end="777">A <strong data-start="696" data-end="716">hard outer layer that withstands grinding pressure and protects your teeth.

</li>
<li data-start="778" data-end="874">
<p data-start="780" data-end="874">A <strong data-start="782" data-end="802">soft inner layer that cushions your bite and makes the guard more comfortable to wear.

</li>
</ul>
<p data-start="876" data-end="1039">This combination provides both long-lasting protection and a comfortable fit, making it ideal for people who find traditional guards either too hard or too soft.
