The Right Appliance Depends on the Problem You Want to Solve
A Conversation First
Your visit begins with a conversation about symptoms, habits, health history, and goals. Your answers help guide the appliance design and determine whether additional evaluation is needed before treatment begins.

Each appliance type is designed for a specific purpose, from cushioning clenching to absorbing sports impact.
Precise Fit
Custom records and careful fitting help ensure comfort, stability, and consistent use.
Types of Oral Appliances We Offer
Night Guards for Clenching and Grinding
Clenching and grinding can place heavy pressure on the teeth, enamel, jaw muscles, and existing dental work. A custom night guard is designed to create a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth while you sleep, made to fit your mouth more precisely than over-the-counter options.
Sports Mouth Guards for Active Patients
Sports mouth guards help protect teeth, lips, cheeks, and soft tissues during athletic activity. Custom guards are designed for comfort, protection, and stability during movement, especially for contact sports.
Sleep Apnea Appliances for Suitable Cases
For some patients with sleep apnea, an oral appliance may be recommended as a comfortable alternative to CPAP, designed to help support airway patency by positioning the jaw to reduce airway collapse during sleep.
TMD/TMJ Splints for Jaw Strain
A TMD/TMJ splint may be used to support a more comfortable jaw position and reduce strain on the joints and muscles, with design depending on your symptoms, bite, and diagnosis.
What Makes a Custom Appliance Different
A custom oral appliance is made from records of your actual teeth and bite. Your appliance process may include:
A better fit can improve comfort, help protect the teeth more effectively, and make it easier to use the appliance consistently.
