Custom Mouthguards
If you or your child participates in sports, it’s important to have a custom mouthguard to protect the teeth and jaw from injury. Mouthguards are especially important for patients with orthodontic braces. We take an impression of your teeth, then create a device fitted to your mouth for a more comfortable fit, easier breathing, and better protection. Preventing injury is much more budget-friendly than repairing the damage caused by facial trauma.
Custom Nightguards
Bruxism is a condition that causes clenching and/or grinding of teeth. This causes additional, unnecessary stress on tooth surfaces and can lead to TMJ pain.
With all the stress that our body experiences, patients may not realize that the soreness or pain they are experiencing in their jaw or ears may be due to stress placed on their temporomandibular joint. Our office can fabricate custom appliances to help alleviate those stresses and prevent further damage and pain.
Typically worn at night, these removable acrylic appliances can help relieve temporomandibular joint pain and other effects of grinding the teeth.
Oral Appliance Therapy for Snoring and Sleep Apnea
Disrupted sleep can also be caused by sleep conditions such as snoring or sleep apnea. Poor sleep habits can impact your overall health and cause health concerns such as fatigue, headaches, difficulty concentrating, and irritability.
Our office creates custom-fitted oral appliances for patients to wear during sleep to address improper jaw positioning, clenching, and teeth grinding, improving your sleep patterns and overall health. Contact our office today for more information!
