Custom Oral Appliances

If you or your child participates in sports, it’s important to have a custom mouth guard to protect the teeth and jaws from injury. Mouth guards are especially important for patients with orthodontic braces. We will take an impression of your teeth and 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.

Sleep apnea is a disorder which can cause one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths during sleep. We make custom-fitted night guards that can alleviate sleep apnea symptoms by realigning your bite to provide an open airway while you sleep.

In addition, our office can fabricate custom appliances to help alleviate stress and prevent further tooth damage caused by bruxism. Bruxism is a condition that causes clenching and/or grinding of teeth. This causes additional unnecessarily stress on tooth surfaces that damage teeth or can lead to TMJ pain.
