NIGHT & SPORTS GUARDS + RETAINERS

Oral appliances can protect your teeth and prevent costly dental work and pain. They are totally worth it.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A NIGHT GUARD?

Grinding or clenching your teeth at night can cause problems such as:

  • extreme jaw pain

  • eroded teeth surfaces

  • fractured enamel

  • extreme sensitivity

  • headaches

Wearing a well-fitting night guard can protect your teeth and alleviate extreme symptoms.

People who snore (and their spouses) can also benefit from a night guard. There are dental appliances that can open the airway while sleeping and reduce snoring dramatically while improving sleep quality.

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A SPORTS GUARD?

Any athlete in a high-contact sport can benefit from a sports guard. Protecting your teeth from being damaged or knocked out saves time, cost, and pain. This is an easy investment in protecting a great-looking smile as well as reducing the risk of concussion.


WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR A RETAINER?

Any patient who has a history of orthodontic treatment who wants to maintain their investment should have a retainer. There are many different kinds of retainers. Talk with us about the best choice for a comfortable, easy-to-wear option.
