Custom Mouthguards and Splints: The Facts
Snoring is a common problem, but not one you can notice for yourself…! An anti-snoring device can improve your and your partner’s night-time rapport and give you the peace of mind that you aren’t responsible for keeping them awake at night.
Snoring arises when the muscle in your airways close as you relax. As the airway is obstructed, a vibration (a snore) occurs. Using a custom-made anti-snoring device, the jaw is held open, creating a larger airway.
During your consultation, we will also screen you for sleep apnoea.
If you enjoy contact sports, you may be aware that over-the-counter mouthguards aren’t up to the task of protecting your teeth from trauma. Not only are they uncomfortable to wear (causing a gag reflex in many people who wear them), they offer minimal protection when impact occurs.
Our bespoke mouthguards sit comfortably over your teeth, absorbing the impact of a blow to the face during sports such as:
Teeth grinding may seem like an innocent problem, appearing to cause more of a nuisance than any real damage to your teeth. The reality is that long-term teeth grinding can wear down your tooth enamel and cause pain in the TMJ joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull.
Pain in the TMJ is no laughing matter, resulting in headaches and neck aches. A custom-made splint can alleviate the pain associated with TMJ problems and protect your teeth from wear as a consequence of grinding. They are a preventive solution that can avert the need for tooth restoration in the future.
We have an in-house specialist oral surgeon and specialised lab designed for the fabrication of life-changing anti-snoring and bruxism devices.
Our sports mouthguards are available in a range of colours to suit your sports kit. Our sports guards, anti-snoring and anti-bruxism devices are offered at fair prices to our patients, who benefit greatly from the comfort and protection they offer.
