Oral Appliances
For some patients, treating TMD can be as simple as wearing a day or nightguard. This is especially true for patients who are experiencing discomfort due to bruxism. Using a digital impression of your mouth, we’ll craft you a comfortable and easy-to-wear mouthguard that you can wear night or day to cushion your teeth and prevent damage and pain.
Our nightguards are made of a soft rubber that distributes forces when you bite down on it. Because nighttime bruxism often goes undetected, you run the risk of serious damage to your teeth if it goes untreated! We make our nightguards right in our office, so there won’t be any need to wait while it comes back from the dental lab! You’ll have relief quickly and when you need it!
