Your Ottawa Invisalign® Provider
Dental Appliances
To protect your smile and your overall oral health, our Ottawa dentists at St. Laurent Dental Centre offer custom-fitted dental appliances, including night guards and sports guards.
What is a Dental Appliance?
Maintaining good oral health is more than just brushing and flossing. For those of us who play sports, or who clench or grind our teeth at night, dental appliances can help to preserve and protect our oral structures.
Dental appliances offered at St. Laurent Dental Centre – such as sports guards and night guards, are used to help improve and protect the health of your mouth.
Snoring Appliances
Snoring is caused by relaxed throat tissues that cause the airway to restrict, creating the sound of snoring as oxygen is forced past.
Snoring can disrupt your sleep and negatively impact your overall health and well-being.
At St. Laurent Dental Centre, we provide custom-fitted oral appliances to move the lower jaw and tongue muscles to open the airway. This helps improve your flow of breath and prevents you from snoring - leading to a better and more refreshing quality of sleep.
Night Guards
If you grind your teeth during sleep, a mouth guard custom-fitted by your dentist will help protect your teeth from damage. If you clench your jaw, a mouth guard will also help prevent you from clenching and provide some relief of jaw pain.
Sports Guards
When playing sports it's important to protect your smile! If get hit in the mouth during a sports activity, a custom-fitted mouth guard provides a cushioning barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth to protect your smile.
