Dental Appliances
Dental appliances are devices designed to protect the mouth from various problems, including grinding, physical trauma from sports, and shifting teeth. Dr. Dove Dental Office offers multiple dental appliances to ensure your teeth are as safe and healthy as ever.
Night Guards
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is a common affliction where a person grinds or clenches their teeth at night. To mitigate the damage caused by grinding, you can wear a custom night guard, which is molded to the shape of your teeth. These guards are worn during the night to prevent you from grinding down your teeth.
Retainers
After receiving treatment for bite misalignment, your teeth may still move back into their original positions. Retainers are a type of dental appliance designed to prevent your teeth from shifting out of place after treatment. These appliances are removable and are typically worn while you sleep.
Sports Mouth Guards
If you play a high-contact sport like football or hockey, you are more likely to receive physical trauma to the mouth and teeth. Sports mouth guards are custom-fitted to your mouth and are worn while playing your sport so that if you do receive trauma to the mouth, your teeth will remain protected.
