What is a Dental Appliance?
Maintaining good oral health is more than just brushing and flossing. For those of us who play sports, who clench or grind our teeth or who snore, dental appliances can help preserve and protect our oral structures, and the health of our whole bodies.
Dental appliances offered at Clinique Dentaire Écladent – such as mouth guards and sleep apnea devices – are used to help protect the health of your oral cavity.
Sports Guards
If you receive a blow to the mouth while playing sports, a custom-made mouthguard acts as a cushion between your teeth and the soft tissues of your mouth to protect your smile. The mouthguard is designed to fit your teeth, offering optimal protection. In addition to preventing dental injuries, it also helps reduce the risk of jaw and lip trauma.
Night Guards
If you grind your teeth or clench your jaw while sleeping, your quality of life is certainly affected. In addition to headaches, neck pain, jaw stiffness, and chronic fatigue, this can lead to increased dental wear. To help limit this reflex and protect your mouth, our dentists offer custom night guards.
