Night/Mouth Guards
Stop grinding your teeth at night and protect your teeth during sports with a custom-made mouthguard.
About The Service
Your dentist may recommend a mouth guard to protect your teeth from grinding together especially at night, when you are sleeping and unaware of it. Your sleep specialists may recommend mouth guards or bite splits as treatment for sleep apnea.
How It Works:
- Your dentist will make impressions of the top and bottom dental arches in your mouth.
- Your mouth's imprints are sent to a facility that specializes in creating dental appliances.
- Your dentist will ensure that the mouth guard fits comfortably and is balanced in your mouth when you come in for the fitting. Any necessary modifications will be done that day in the office. One month, three months, and six months after your first fit, your dentist will want to modify your mouth guard.
- You will receive detailed instructions from your dentist on how to take care of your mouth guard.
