CUSTOM MADE MOUTH GUARDS

Mouth Guards are extremely important when playing any contact sport.
It is important to have one that is uniquely fitted to you or your childs mouth.

OCCLUSAL SPLINT

Do you grind or clench your teeth?
Does your jaw ache or feel tender to bite on?

You may need an occlusal splint! Occlusal splints are designed to protect your teeth from the effects of grinding and clenching, thus reducing the loss of enamel and tooth structure. Splints can also be designed with protective guiding mechanisms to guide your jaw and protect your temporo mandibular joint. Occlusal splints are worn at night when clenching or grinding frequently occur.
