Custom Oral Protection
Maintaining good oral health entails more than just brushing and flossing. For those of us who participate in sports, clench or grind our teeth or snore, dental appliances can help preserve and protect our oral structures, as well as our general health.
Sports guards and night guards provide an extra layer of protection against potential injuries or damage while snoring and sleep apnea appliances can alleviate symptoms associated with sleep disorders to improve your quality of sleep and overall well-being.
Whatever your dental appliance needs, LifeSmiles Dental is here to help. Contact us today to get started.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea Appliances
Sleep disorders can disrupt your sleep and harm your health and well-being.
When you snore, your relaxed throat tissues cause your airway to narrow, resulting in the snoring sound as oxygen is forced past.
If you suffer from sleep apnea, your throat tissues over-relax and obstruct the airway, causing your brain to wake you up to breathe.
LifeSmiles Dental offers custom-fitted oral appliances that move the lower jaw and tongue muscles to open the airway. This improves your breathing flow and helps keep you asleep throughout the night.
Snoring and sleep apnea devices are available at our Grant Park Mall location.
Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards
We provide custom-made mouth guards that fit over your teeth in order to protect them from damage.
Sports Guards
If you are hit in the mouth while playing sports, a mouth guard acts as a barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth, protecting your smile.
Night Guards
A night guard will help protect your teeth if you grind them while sleeping. If you clench your jaw, a night guard can help prevent you from clenching while also providing pain relief.
