Custom-Fitted Occlusal and Sports Guards for Teeth Protection
At Only Smiles Family Dental, we provide custom-fitted occlusal guards for individuals who grind their teeth and sports guards for athletes. These guards are essential for protecting teeth from damage and ensuring long-term oral health.
What Are Occlusal Guards and Who Needs Them?
Occlusal guards, also known as night guards, are used to:
- Prevent damage caused by teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching
- Alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorders
- Protect the teeth and jaw from the effects of grinding, which can include wear, pain, and sensitivity
- They are ideal for individuals who experience bruxism or have TMJ discomfort
What Are Sports Guards and Why Are They Important?
Sports guards are essential for athletes because they:
- Provide protection against dental injuries during sports activities
- Help cushion blows that might otherwise cause broken teeth, injuries to the lips and tongue, and other trauma
- Are an important piece of athletic gear for anyone participating in contact sports or activities with a risk of falls or collisions
How Are Occlusal and Sports Guards Customized?
Customization of occlusal and sports guards involves:
- Taking precise impressions of your teeth for a comfortable and effective fit
- Selecting materials that provide optimal protection and comfort
- Adjusting the guard for functionality without hindering breathing or speech
