These are specialized types of oral appliances, each designed with a unique purpose:
- Snoring Appliances (Oral Appliance Therapy for Snoring/Sleep Apnea): These custom-fit devices gently reposition the lower jaw forward to help keep the airway open during sleep.
- Sport Guards (Athletic Mouthguards): Custom-fabricated protective covers worn over the teeth during sports or recreational activities absorb the force of impact and protect teeth from injury,
- Bruxism Appliances (Nightguard): These custom-made splints are worn over the upper or lower teeth and serve a dual purpose. Firstly, they act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. Secondly, they allow your jaw to settle into a neutral position, thereby reducing symptoms of muscle pain associated with clenching and grinding.
