What are Dental Appliances?
Maintaining good oral health goes beyond just brushing and flossing. Those who clench or grind their teeth, people who snore in their sleep, and athletes can use dental appliances to help preserve their oral structures, as well as the health of their entire bodies.
Mouth guards and snoring devices offered at Uptown Dentistry help protect the health of your oral cavity.
Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards
We provide custom-made mouth guards that fit over your teeth to protect them from potential damage.
Sports Guards
A mouth guard serves as a barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth, protecting your smile if you were to get hit in the mouth while competing in a sport.
Night Guards
Mouth guards will help protect your teeth from damage if you grind them while sleeping. Night guards also help discourage clenching throughout the night and alleviate some pain that the clenching may cause.
Snoring Appliances
Sleep disorders can disrupt the quality and quantity of your sleep, negatively impacting your overall health and wellbeing.
When patients snore the tissues in their throat relax, resulting in the airway restricting. Oxygen still has to be forced past, which generates the sound of snoring.
At Uptown Dentistry, we offer custom-fitted oral devices to shift your tongue muscles and lower jaw, opening your airway for better access to oxygen. This creates more space in your throat and keeps the upper airway from collapsing while you're sleeping.
