How Dental Appliances Protect Your Teeth
Taking care of your smile involves more than just brushing and flossing. If you participate in sports or tend to clench or grind your teeth, a custom-fitted dental appliance can help safeguard your oral health and improve the quality of your sleep.
The benefits of these protective dental appliances go beyond just protecting teeth from impact. They can also support general, whole-body health.
When you sleep better, you feel better, which is why night guards can be beneficial to patients who struggle with sleep-related issues.
In addition to protecting the teeth, sports guards can help protect the inside of the mouth from the teeth themselves during an impact and can also help protect the jaw from injury.
Sports Guards
Sports and physical activities often have a risk of impact to the face or mouth. A mouth guard provides a barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth to protect your smile.
Night Guards
A night guard can help protect your teeth from damage if you often grind your teeth while you sleep. If you clench your jaw, a night guard will also help prevent you from damaging your teeth and provide some pain relief.
