The difference between the GumGuardPM® original / Standard and GumGuardPM® UltraSoft is the GumGuardPM® is the thinner one. The Standard GumGuard is still soft and durable and our most popular, but the UltraSoft version is even softer, thinner and lightweight. The original is especially helpful for grinding issues. Customers love both versions! The UltraSoft is especially preferred for people who have just had extractions or procedures and for people who are having sore gum issues.
