Dental Appliances
Giving your teeth protection and care is our top priority. At ACU Dental & Orthodontics, we can create a range of custom-fit dental appliances to give you the protection you need, no matter what life brings your way.
Night Guards
In some cases, the teeth require additional protection during sleep. Bruxism is a condition that causes people to grind their teeth, particularly at night. A night guard prevents the teeth and surrounding tissues from being damaged by this movement. This can help reduce the probability of tooth chips and cracking, soft tissue injuries, and even mitigate some jaw pain associated with bruxism.
Retainers
As the last step in an orthodontic treatment, retainers ensure that the newly aligned teeth maintain their positions. While braces or clear aligners do most of the work in shifting the teeth into better positions, there is a risk that after treatment, the teeth will slowly begin to shift back. A retainer is a removable, clear device that ensures the teeth will continue to be straight and aligned.
Sports Mouth Guards
Custom-made mouth guards are designed to ensure maximum protection for the head, neck, and teeth during high-impact sports. Using technology that fits the guard to the exact shape of your teeth, we can create mouth guards that are comfortable and allow you to breathe easily. Sports mouth guards are recommended for sports including football, hockey, snowboarding, skiing, and any activity that could result in an impact to the head, face, or teeth.
Snoring Devices & Sleep Apnea Devices
The health risks of snoring and sleep apnea are clear; poor breathing and poor sleeping can cause serious issues for your health, especially when they are not corrected. While moderate to serious sleep apnea is often treated using a CPAP machine, snoring and mild to moderate cases of sleep apnea can be treated with dental appliances fitted to your mouth and teeth.
