Custom mouth guards and dental splints are designed to protect your teeth, jaw, and oral health from injury and excessive wear. Whether you play contact sports or grind your teeth while sleeping, these custom-made appliances provide a comfortable fit and reliable protection tailored to your individual needs.
Unlike over-the-counter alternatives, professionally made mouth guards and splints are precisely fitted to your teeth for maximum comfort and effectiveness. They help reduce the risk of dental injuries, protect restorations, and relieve pressure on your teeth and jaw, allowing you to enjoy greater comfort and long-term oral health.
Custom mouth guards help cushion your teeth and gums during sports and physical activities, reducing the risk of chips, fractures, and other dental injuries.
Dental splints help minimise the effects of teeth grinding (bruxism), protecting your teeth from excessive wear and damage.
Splints can help reduce pressure on the jaw joints and muscles, providing relief from discomfort associated with clenching and grinding.
Each appliance is individually crafted to fit your teeth securely, offering better comfort, stability, and protection than standard over-the-counter options.
A mouth guard is typically worn during sports to protect your teeth from injury, while a dental splint is usually worn at night to help manage teeth grinding and jaw clenching.
Anyone who participates in contact sports or activities with a risk of facial injury can benefit from wearing a professionally fitted mouth guard.
A dental splint does not stop the habit of grinding but helps protect your teeth from damage and can reduce strain on the jaw muscles and joints.
The lifespan depends on how often they are used and how well they are cared for, but with proper maintenance they can last for several years.
Clean your appliance after each use with a soft toothbrush and cool water, store it in a protective case, and bring it to your regular dental appointments so your dentist can check its condition and fit.
