What is a Dental Appliance?

Maintaining good oral health is more than just brushing and flossing. For those of us who play sports find ourselves clenching or grinding our teeth at night, dental appliances can help preserve and protect our teeth and oral structures.

The custom-fitted dental appliances offered at SouthWest Dental include sports guards and night guards to help improve and protect the health of your oral cavity.

How Sports Mouth Guards Work

If you play sports, a sports guard can help to protect your teeth and mouth from damage in the case of an impact.

If you get hit in the mouth during a sports activity, a sports guard provides a cushioning barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth to protect your smile.

How Night Guards Work

Custom night guards can help prevent future dental problems, and protect your teeth and jaw from damage while you sleep.

If you grind your teeth, your night guard will act as a barrier to help protect your teeth. If you suffer from jaw joint pain, your night guard will help you reduce clenching and may give you some pain relief.
