Custom Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are an often-overlooked part of preventative dental care. Both adults and children should wear mouth guards while practicing and playing sports to protect the lips, gums, and teeth from injury. Mouth guards are especially important for patients with orthodontic braces. We take an impression of your teeth, then create a device that is custom fitted to your mouth for a more comfortable fit, easier breathing, and better protection.
Customized Appliances
One reason to wear a custom fitted night guard is to alleviate the stress on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) which may be causing pain or soreness in the muscles of the face or joint itself. Often symptoms such as clicking/popping, ringing in the ears, or facial pain accompany TMJ Disorder. We make appliances specifically designed for your needs and tailored for your treatment.
Another very important reason to wear a night guard is to protect the teeth from all the stresses of clenching and/or grinding that most commonly occur while sleeping. Teeth under heavy pressure can crack, wear down biting surfaces, become temperature sensitive, and lose their natural appearance. Our office can fabricate a customized appliance to alleviate those stresses, prevent further damage, and stabilize your bite.
