MOUTHGUARDS AND SPLINTS

Sports Mouthguards

A mouthguard is a custom-made protective device that is worn over the teeth and gums to help prevent injuries to the teeth, mouth, and jaw. It is made of a thermoplastic material that is flexible and light but strong enough to provide protection against impacts and collisions, reducing the risk of broken teeth, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage.

The cost for a mouthguard $150 and will be ready in 2 working days.

Occlusal Splints

An occlusal splint, also known as a bite splint, bite plane, or night guard, is a dental appliance designed to treat various issues related to the occlusion, or the way the upper and lower teeth come together (bite). These splints are typically made of acrylic or other materials and are custom-fitted to a patient's mouth. Here are some common uses of occlusal splints:

  • Bruxism Management:

    Occlusal splints are often prescribed for individuals who suffer from bruxism, a condition characterized by teeth grinding or clenching, usually during sleep. The splint provides a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing them from coming into direct contact and minimizing the impact of grinding.

  • TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorders:

    People with temporomandibular joint disorders may experience pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint. Occlusal splints can help by redistributing forces during biting and chewing, providing relief to the TMJ and reducing symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, and clicking or popping sounds in the jaw.

  • Tooth Wear Protection:

    Occlusal splints are used to protect teeth from excessive wear caused by grinding or clenching. By creating a protective barrier, the splint helps to prevent the erosion of tooth enamel and reduce the risk of tooth damage.

  • Migraine and Headache Management:

    Some individuals who suffer from migraines or tension headaches may benefit from the use of occlusal splints. The splint can help alleviate pressure on the jaw and reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches associated with dental issues.

    The cost for a occlusal splint is $ 590.90.

Mandibular Advancement Splint

A mandibular advancement splint is a dental appliance used in the treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).

The device is typically worn in the mouth during sleep and is designed to reposition the lower jaw (mandible) forward. By advancing the lower jaw, the MAS helps to enlarge the upper airway and prevent its collapse, reducing snoring and alleviating symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. This repositioning of the jaw helps to keep the airway open, allowing for improved airflow and preventing interruptions in breathing during sleep.

Mandibular advancement splints are often considered as an alternative or adjunctive treatment for individuals who cannot tolerate continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy, which is another common treatment for sleep apnea.

The cost for a splint is $ 590.90.
