Mouthguards

Ever heard of a mouthguard? It's also known as a nightguard or occlusal guard. It's a removable gear that fits over your upper or lower teeth. If you've been doing some consistent grinding and clenching, it could lead to enamel loss, tooth fractures, pain, gum recession, and in severe cases — full-mouth severe wear or loss of teeth. Not fun, right? But fear not! If you happen to be dealing with bruxism, our customized mouthguard is here to the rescue, ready to protect your teeth for many years to come.
