Why Do I Need to Protect My Teeth?

Your teeth can be injured or damaged by impacts to your face or by grinding and clenching. If they aren’t protected from damage, they could be damaged or lost, or they could become misaligned. Guards and appliances provide a layer of protection to keep your teeth safe and healthy.

Sports Guards

Custom sports guards are worn over the teeth to absorb impacts and protect your teeth from being injured. Guards fit comfortably and securely to prevent injury without interfering with your game.

Bite Appliances

Clenching or nighttime grinding can cause serious damage to your teeth over time. Night appliances prevent clenching and grinding by holding your teeth in place while you sleep. The appliances are custom-made to fit comfortably without interrupting your sleep.

Frequently Asked Questions
