UNDERSTANDING NIGHT GUARDS
Night Guards
Grinding and clenching of teeth, known as bruxism, can lead to significant dental issues over time. Our specialized night guards are designed to combat this by providing a protective layer between the dental arches or by ensuring that the jaws remain slightly separated, preventing undue pressure and friction.
Benefits of Our Custom Night Guards
- Cushioned Comfort: Acts as a protective barrier between the top and bottom dental arches.
- Innovative Spacer Design: Creates space between the front teeth, preventing the upper and lower jaws from making contact.
SAVING YOUR NATURAL TOOTH
Tackling Snoring with Snore Guards
Snoring isn't just a nighttime disturbance but a sign of possible obstructions in your breathing pattern while sleeping. Our snore prevention mouthpieces are specifically designed to keep the lower jaw forward, ensuring an open airway and reducing pressure on the larynx, thereby minimizing snoring sounds.
Understanding Snoring Causes
- Sleep Position: Lying on your back can promote snoring.
- Relaxed Jaw: A relaxed jaw can compress the larynx, leading to snoring sounds.
- Anatomical Factors: Large tonsils or an extended soft palate can obstruct the airway, resulting in snoring.
Causes of Teeth Grinding
- Stress or Anxiety: Emotional factors can unconsciously lead to teeth grinding during sleep.
- Obstructive Sleep Apnea: A sleep disorder that causes periods of breathing cessation, leading to grinding as a coping mechanism.
- Medications or Drugs: Certain medicines or recreational drugs can induce bruxism as a side effect.
