Often times, patients need special mouth guards or retainers for various reasons.
One common reason an individual may need a mouth guard is teeth grinding. This can be a subconscious condition that is often done while a person is sleeping. Our office makes special mouth guards to help protect your teeth from the forces that can cause cracked or broken teeth. Protecting your teeth before they require extensive dental care is a goal we strive to achieve. This can greatly help with jaw pain, TMJ problems, and even types of migraines.
Retainers are often needed to help keep teeth in proper alignment. Teeth are constantly shifting due to the tongue, lips and muscles in your mouth.
