Mouth guard typically means the type of guard you wear during sports events, but there are also night guards that protect against tooth grinding that happens during sleep. Whether you wear a mouth guard for sport or to keep you from grinding your teeth at night, that guard counts as a dental appliance.
Another type of guard, called the tongue thrust guard, prevents you from pushing your tongue against your front teeth while your mouth is closed. This kind of behavior can result in crooked teeth and bite problems.
