Custom Fit & Comfort
Better retention and less bulk than over‑the‑counter options.
Overview
Custom dental appliances protect teeth, guide jaw position, or maintain alignment after orthodontics. We design guards and retainers from digital scans for accurate, comfortable fit.
Common devices include nightguards (grinding/clenching), sports guards, and retainers. We’ll help you choose the right material and thickness for your needs.
Oral appliances are custom‑made devices that protect your teeth and support jaw health. We design appliances to meet specific goals: reduce nighttime grinding and clenching, protect enamel during sports, reposition the jaw to ease TMD symptoms, or help maintain orthodontic results.
Common oral appliances offered include:
- Night guards (occlusal splints) to reduce wear from bruxism (grinding/clenching) and relax overworked jaw muscles.
- Sports mouthguards for high‑impact activities to protect teeth and soft tissues; custom guards fit better than “boil‑and‑bite.”
- Snoreguards to help reduce snoring and support treatment for obstructive sleep apnea when indicated.
- TMJ/TMD splints to improve jaw joint comfort and function when conservative therapy is indicated.
- Orthodontic retainers to help maintain tooth position after Invisalign or braces.
We take digital scans for a precise fit, discuss material options (hard, soft, or hybrid), and review wear‑care instructions so your appliance lasts and stays comfortable.

FAQs
How do I clean my appliance?
Rinse daily, brush gently with mild soap, and avoid hot water. Use periodic soak tablets as directed.
How long will it last?
It varies by habits and material; we’ll monitor wear at checkups and replace when indicated.
Will insurance help?
Some plans cover guards or retainers—coverage varies. We’ll provide a pre‑estimate when possible.
Can I use a drugstore guard?
OTC guards are bulkier and can change your bite; custom guards are safer and more protective.
Do night guards stop grinding?
They don’t “cure” bruxism, but they protect teeth from wear and can reduce muscle overuse. We’ll tailor the design (hard, soft, or hybrid) to your bite.
Are custom sports mouthguards worth it?
Custom guards fit better and tend to be worn more consistently, offering improved protection and comfort compared with over‑the‑counter options.
How do I clean my appliance?
Rinse after use, brush gently with a soft toothbrush (no abrasive toothpaste), and store dry. Avoid hot water which can distort fit.
How long does a night guard last?
With proper care, many last years. Heavy grinders may need more frequent replacement. We’ll monitor wear at your checkups.
