Hard vs soft occlusal guard — have you changed your approach?

I was trained to always do hard acrylic guards, but I'm seeing more colleagues use soft/dual-laminate for certain patients. **Current approach:** Hard acrylic for everyone, but I have some patients who: - Can't tolerate the bulk - Keep cracking them - Say they clench MORE with them in **Curious about:** - When do you choose soft vs hard? - Any specific products you like for the dual-laminate? - Has anyone switched from "always hard" to "it depends"?
