NIGHT, ATHLETIC AND SNORE MOUTH GUARDS

Teeth Grinding and Night Guards
Teeth grinding, or “bruxism” is a very common condition which affects many people. Different patterns and symptoms of teeth grinding exist but most result in early destruction of enamel (known as “tooth wear”), and some result in TMJ, jaw pain, jaw clicking, or jaw popping. A nightguard is a hard plastic retainer, which is worn on the upper or lower teeth to stop tooth wear and ease TMJ symptoms associated with teeth grinding.

Athletic Mouth Guards
Some sports are rough. High quality custom fitted athletic mouth guards can be made to protect your teeth during impact. A well fitting mouth guard for sports provides protection while not distracting you from the “goal”. 

Snore Guards
Snoring is caused by the vibration of the soft tissues at the back of the throat because your jaw relaxes back during sleep. Repositioning your lower jaw forward with the use of a snore guard can open your airway, promoting the clear passage of air, thus reducing snoring and providing a better nights' sleep.
