Guards

Snoreguard

A snoreguard can be useful for people with mild to moderate snoring problems, or those prone to sleep apnea. This custom-made appliance repositions your jaw to keep your airway open, allowing easy breathing while you sleep so that you can wake up feeling rested and restored.

Athletic Mouth Guard

We custom-make athletic mouth guards for greater comfort, performance and protection. These durable appliances provide protection that boil-and-bite mouth guards cannot match.

Guards

TMJ Occlusal Guard

Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) can cause discomfort in the muscles of your jaw joints, and be a source of headaches. Custom-fit occlusal guards work to decrease muscle spasm and can eliminate destructive behaviors, such as teeth clenching and grinding, that can contribute to head, neck and jaw pain. We offer both soft and hard acrylic guards, depending on which works best for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What are mouthguards used for in dentistry?
Mouthguards are used to protect your teeth from nighttime grinding (also called bruxism), reduce the risk of sports injuries, and even help manage snoring or mild sleep apnea by improving airflow during sleep.
2Can a dentist help with snoring or sleep apnea?
Yes! We offer custom-made snore guards that gently reposition your jaw to keep your airway open at night—reducing snoring and helping with mild cases of sleep apnea.
3What’s the difference between a custom mouthguard and one from the store?
Custom mouthguards are made specifically for your mouth, offering a snug, comfortable fit and better protection. Over-the-counter options can be bulky, less effective, and more likely to shift around while you sleep or play sports.
4How long does it take to get a custom mouthguard?
It usually takes just two easy visits—one to take impressions and another to fit your finished guard. The process is quick, non-invasive, and well worth it for the comfort and protection you’ll get.
5Can mouthguards really help with teeth grinding?
Absolutely. A custom nightguard can prevent the damage caused by grinding and clenching, which often leads to worn teeth, jaw soreness, and even morning headaches.
