Our Custom Oral Appliances
Athletic Mouthguards — A well-fitted athletic mouthguard protects teeth, gums, and jaws from impact during sports, helping to prevent fractures and soft tissue injuries. Custom mouthguards offer superior comfort and protection compared to over-the-counter options.
Custom Nightguards — Custom nightguards help prevent damage from teeth grinding (bruxism) by providing a protective cushion that reduces wear on enamel and relieves jaw tension. They are designed for a comfortable fit, improving sleep quality and protecting long-term oral health.
How do you take care of oral appliances?
Proper care of mouthguards and nightguards helps extend their lifespan and keeps them fresh and ready to wear. Always have your child rinse their appliance with water after each use and clean it daily with a soft toothbrush and mild soap or non-abrasive toothpaste. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the material. They should store their mouthguard in a ventilated case when not in use and keep it away from pets. Regularly check for signs of wear and feel free to bring it to our office for inspection and minor repairs.
How do you get a custom oral appliance from your pediatric dentist?
Getting a custom oral appliance starts with a dental consultation, where Dr. Lindley assesses the patient’s needs, whether for teeth grinding, TMJ issues, or sports protection. Next, precise impressions of their teeth are taken to create a well-fitting, comfortable appliance. Our mouthguards and nightguards are custom-made in a dental lab, ensuring durability and effectiveness. Once ready, we will ensure a proper fit and provide care instructions. Regular checkups will also help ensure the appliance remains in good condition.
