A bruxism guard's price depends on the appliance and accompanying service. An online purchase, a heat-mouldable model and a procedure in a dental practice do not necessarily include the same services. MyoProtect is listed at €90; reimbursement of this purchase should never be assumed.
Compare the total cost, not just the appliance
| Offer | What to check about the price |
|---|---|
| Standard or heat-mouldable model | Exact product, moulding method and instructions |
| Custom-made from a home impression | Impression, manufacture, shipping and arrangements for an unusable impression |
| Guard supplied by a dental practice | Examination, impression or scan, fitting, adjustments and follow-up |
Request a written explanation of what is included. Two amounts are comparable only when the offers' contents are known. Our comparison of pharmacy or custom-made guards helps distinguish the routes.
A reference price in French dental care
A public 2025 AP-HP fee document lists €172.80 for procedure HBLD018, “pose d’un plan de libération occlusale” (fitting an occlusal splint). This is a specific procedure in a care setting. The amount is neither a quote for your situation nor a universal price for every guard. AP-HP, dentistry fees, public document, 2025.
The quote should explain the proposed device, billed procedures and associated charges. If you already have a guard, also ask whether repair, replacement or a new examination changes the bill.
French statutory health insurance: check the procedure actually billed
A code on a webpage does not mean every purchase called a “guard” carries the same coverage. Ask the professional which code will actually be billed, then confirm coverage with your insurer. Do not infer reimbursement from a prescription alone or an old testimonial.
We do not present MyoProtect as a reimbursed purchase. Budget from the displayed price without assuming reimbursement, and seek written confirmation if you want an insurer to contribute.
Supplementary insurance: send the quote before deciding
Send the quote or precise offer description to your supplementary health insurer. Ask for your remaining cost in euros, the period covered and required documents. A coverage percentage without its calculation basis does not establish that amount.
Do not confuse bruxism rules with retention after orthodontics: these concern different indications. The table of dental appliance prices by use helps separate them.
MyoProtect, MyoForce's impression-based guard
MyoProtect is a custom guard made from a home impression. Its construction combines a hard outer layer and soft inner layer, 3 mm thick overall. Its listed price is €90. These features describe the product; they do not establish superior effectiveness or an end to bruxism.

Common questions
Does the highest price mean the greatest effectiveness?
No. Available reviews do not establish overall superiority of custom guards for bruxism. Compare fit and the actual service without turning price into clinical evidence.
Is an online guard automatically reimbursed?
No. Request confirmation for the exact offer. We promise no coverage for MyoProtect.
How much does replacement cost?
The amount depends on the offer and what must be repeated. Ask whether a new impression or examination is required rather than assuming the initial price covers replacements.
