Note: The categories in the table below are a very rough version. A ‘mouthguard’, e.g., although often used to prevent injury in sports, can also be used in the treatment of bruxism or TMD, or as part of certain dental procedures, such as tooth bleaching or sleep apnea treatment. Depending on application, it may also be called a mouth protector, mouth piece, gumshield, gumguard, nightguard, occlusal splint, bite splint, or bite plane. Dentists who specialise in sports dentistry fabricate mouthguards.

Bijvoorbeeld wordt het gebruikt als een soort splint (spalk) bij de behandeling van bruxisme (tandenknarsen) en andere ziektes. Ook worden gebitsbeschermers gebruikt bij bepaalde tandartsbehandelingen, zoals tandenbleken, of als alternatief voor beugels om tanden recht te zetten.’ (https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitje)
