    What Are Custom Mouth Guards?

    Custom mouth guards are personalized protective devices made to fit the unique shape of your teeth and mouth. Unlike over-the-counter mouth guards, custom mouth guards are fabricated in a dental lab based on precise impressions of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit. This precise fit provides better protection, comfort, and durability, making custom mouth guards ideal for various needs, from sports protection to preventing teeth grinding and snoring.

    What Are Custom Night Guards Used For?

    Custom night guards are specifically designed to prevent damage caused by bruxism. Bruxism is a condition where individuals grind or clench their teeth, often during sleep. This can lead to tooth wear, jaw pain, headaches, and other oral health issues. A custom night guard acts as a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing the impact of grinding and clenching and helping to preserve your smile.

    Is a Custom Night Guard Worn on the Upper Teeth or on the Lower Teeth?

    A custom night guard can be designed to fit either the upper or lower teeth, depending on the patient’s needs and preferences. Generally, night guards for the upper teeth are more common because they are easier to adapt to and tend to stay in place better during sleep. However, some patients may find a lower night guard more comfortable. Dr. Sachar and our team at Sachar Dental NYC will evaluate your specific case and recommend the best option for you.

    How Long Should My Custom Night Guard Last?

    The lifespan of a custom night guard depends on various factors, including the material used and the severity of the bruxism. On average, a high-quality custom night guard can last between 3 to 5 years with proper care. Regular dental check-ups will help ensure that your night guard remains in good condition and continues to provide effective protection.

    Will Dental Insurance Cover a Custom Night Guard?

    Many dental insurance plans cover custom night guards, especially when they are prescribed to treat bruxism or other medical conditions. It is important to check with your insurance provider to understand the specific coverage details. At Sachar Dental NYC, we accept most PPO insurance plans. To verify coverage please call us at 212-752-1163.

    Custom Anti-Snoring Mouth Guard (Anti-Snoring Device)

    Snoring can be more than just a nuisance; it can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and affect the quality of your sleep and overall health. Custom anti-snoring mouth guards, also known as mandibular advancement devices (MADs), are designed to keep the airway open by repositioning the lower jaw slightly forward. This helps reduce or eliminate snoring and improves sleep quality.

    How Is an Anti-Snoring Mouth Guard Fabricated?

    Creating a custom anti-snoring mouth guard involves several steps:

    • Consultation and Evaluation: Dr. Sachar will assess your condition and determine if an anti-snoring mouth guard is the right solution for you.
    • Impressions: Precise impressions of your teeth are taken to ensure a perfect fit.
    • Fabrication: The impressions are sent to a dental lab, where the custom mouth guard is fabricated using high-quality materials.
    • Fitting and Adjustment: Once the mouth guard is ready, you will return to our office for a fitting. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure comfort and effectiveness.

    Custom Sports Guards

    For athletes, protecting your teeth during sports activities is essential. Custom sports guards, also known as athletic mouth guards, are designed to absorb impact and prevent dental injuries.

  • Top 10 Most Common Tattoo Aftercare Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

    Top 10 Most Common Tattoo Aftercare Mistakes (and How to Avoid Them)

    Just got your first tattoo? Congratulations! But before you sit back and admire it, there’s something important you need to get right—aftercare. The healing period plays a major role in how your tattoo ultimately looks, and mistakes made during this time can result in fading, scarring, or even infection. Solid tattoo aftercare isn’t just about keeping things clean—it’s about protecting the quality of the work you’ve invested in.

    If you’re unsure what to do (or not do), here are the ten most common aftercare mistakes—and how to avoid them.

    1. Keeping the wrap on too long

    The initial wrap is there to protect your tattoo until you get home, not to act as long-term protection. Leaving it on for too long traps heat, moisture, and bacteria against the skin. After two to four hours, remove it, wash gently with lukewarm water and fragrance-free soap, and pat dry with a clean towel.

  • "You Don't Have A Constitutional Right To A Talk Show"

    "You Don't Have A Constitutional Right To A Talk Show"

    Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

    Talk show shit sandwich Jimmy Kimmel is upset that Americans on the right are not speaking out in favour of Stephen Colbert’s freedom of speech.

    “[It’s disappointing] we don’t see more people on the right stepping up and saying, ‘Hey, this is no good.’ Silencing comedians, commentators, whatever you want to call people,” Kimmel whined.

    He continued, “I have to say, if Joe Biden had used his muscle to get Sean Hannity kicked off the air, you may be surprised to learn that I would not support that.”

    “I would, in fact, support Sean Hannity in that situation, because I thought one of the founding principles of this country was free speech, Kimmel blathered, adding “But people don’t seem to care about protecting it unless you agree with them.”

    There’s so much to unpack here.

    Firstly, Trump didn’t “use his muscle” to kick Colbert off the air.

    Next, a TV network cancelling a show that is costing them $40 million a year isn’t “silencing” the host. It’s just basic economic survival.

    Using Sean Hannity, Fox News’ ratings cash cow as a comparison is just idiotic.

    Kimmel clearly doesn’t understand what free speech in relation to the First Amendment even is.

    Kimmel was also not very supportive when Tucker Carlson was cancelled by Fox News. In fact he was gleeful.

    So, he’s a hypocrite as well as a moron and a propagandist.

    This description is also laughable.

    And why on Earth would anyone who Colbert and Kimmel all been relentlessly attacking and even inciting violence against suddenly choose to speak up for them?

    Now book your one way flight to Italy Jim and don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

    As we were saying…

  • California lawmakers pass AI safety bill SB 53 — but Newsom could still veto

    California lawmakers pass AI safety bill SB 53 — but Newsom could still veto

    California’s state senate gave final approval early on Saturday morning to a major AI safety bill setting new transparency requirements on large companies.

    As described by its author, state senator Scott Wiener, SB 53 “requires large AI labs to be transparent about their safety protocols, creates whistleblower protections for [employees] at AI labs & creates a public cloud to expand compute access (CalCompute).”

    The bill now goes to California Governor Gavin Newsom to sign or veto. He has not commented publicly on SB 53, but last year, he vetoed a more expansive safety bill also authored by Wiener, while signing narrower legislation targeting issues like deepfakes.

    At the time, Newsom acknowledged the importance of “protecting the public from real threats posed by this technology,” but criticized Wiener’s previous bill for applying “stringent standards” to large models regardless of whether they were “deployed in high-risk environments, [involved] critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data.”

    Wiener said the new bill was influenced by recommendations from a policy panel of AI experts that Newsom convened after his veto.

    Politico also reports that SB 53 was recently amended so that companies developing “frontier” AI models while bringing in less than $500 million in annual revenue will only need to disclose high level safety details, while companies making more than that will need to provide more detailed reports.

    A number of Silicon Valley companies, VC firms, and lobbying groups have criticized the bill, as well as broader efforts by states to regulate AI. In a recent letter to Newsom, OpenAI did not mention SB 53 specifically but argued that to avoid “duplication and inconsistencies,” companies should be considered compliant with statewide safety rules as long as they meet federal or European standards.

    And Andreessen Horowitz’s head of AI policy and chief legal officer recently claimed that ”many of today’s state AI bills — like proposals in California and New York — risk” crossing a line by violating constitutional limits on how states can regulate interstate commerce.

    a16z’s co-founders had previously pointed to tech regulation as one of the factors leading them to back Donald Trump’s bid for a second term. The Trump administration and its allies subsequently called for a 10-year ban on state AI regulation.

    Anthropic, meanwhile, has come out in favor of SB 53.

    “We have long said we would prefer a federal standard,” said Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark in a post. “But in the absence of that this creates a solid blueprint for AI governance that cannot be ignored.”
