The kit provides all the materials needed for the entire process—from taking impressions to creating models and vacuum forming—along with an innovative vacuum forming device, allowing you to make custom-fit night guards at home. You will also need access to a household oven and vacuum cleaner.
Unlike mail-in services, you own the complete system—not just a single night guard. Once you have the kit, you can make additional guards anytime using refill materials, without repeating the entire ordering process.
Each option has its advantages, but they’re designed for different needs.
Boil-and-bite night guards
– Quick and affordable
– Softened in hot water and molded directly in your mouth
– May feel bulky or less precise for some users
Mail-in custom night guards
– Professionally made for an excellent fit
– Requires taking impressions, shipping them to a lab, and waiting for production
– Typically includes a single finished night guard
Nyxweive DIY Custom Night Guard Kit
– Follows the same core workflow used for professional custom guards: impression → model → thermoforming
– Create a truly custom-fit night guard entirely at home
– No shipping impressions or waiting weeks
– Make up to 5 night guards from one kit
– Keep the equipment, so you can easily make new guards later using refill materials instead of starting the entire process again

Boil-and-bite guards are designed as single, ready-to-use products. Nyxweive is a complete DIY custom fabrication system that lets you create multiple truly custom-fit night guards at home. You also keep the equipment, so you can make replacements later using refill materials instead of starting over.
Many customers find that making multiple custom-fit guards from a single kit provides better long-term value than repeatedly replacing one-size-fits-most guards.
