Dental Appliances in East Mississauga
There may be circumstances when your dentist will recommend dental appliances for your oral health. Our dentists can help you choose the right dental devices to protect your teeth during sports or to manage sleep issues.
Night Guards
Night guards are dental appliances that are specifically designed to protect your teeth and mouth from bruxism. Bruxism is a condition that causes a person to clench or grind their teeth, which can be harmful to the teeth, soft tissues, and jaw. It is highly recommended to wear a well-fitted professionally made night guard to alleviate the negative effects of clenching and grinding.
Retainers
Retainers are commonly used during the last stage of orthodontic treatment. Their purpose is to maintain the new positions of your teeth after they have been corrected using braces or other orthodontic treatments.
Sports Mouth Guards
Sports injuries can be very harmful to the mouth, jaw, and head, regardless of whether you are an amateur or a professional athlete. Wearing a properly fitted sports mouth guard can provide protection during high-impact or group sports, and this is especially important for children who participate in team sports.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea and snoring are caused by disruption in your regular breathing. A possible solution to alleviate the problem may be the use of a dental appliance, which your dentist may recommend after assessment with a sleep study and in consultation with your sleep doctor.
TMD/TMJ Devices
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) devices, also known as occlusal splints or night guards, can relieve joint pain and prevent teeth clenching and grinding, protecting your teeth and jaws from harm.
