TMJ & Sports Appliances
BiteSoft Night Splint
Are you suffering from clenching, grinding your teeth, or snoring? For patients that know they suffer from a TMJ disorder with grinding or clenching mainly in sleeping hours, a custom night splint is a great option. BiteSoft Anterior Splint is a custom-fit mouthpiece worn over only the six anterior teeth during sleep to establish jaw stability and relaxation.
Especially recommended for any patient with many porcelain restorations, the BiteSoft can provide you with years of protection. To have one made is a very easy in-chair experience. In just about 15 minutes, impressions will be made. The appliance will be inserted once production has been completed, in about one to two weeks.
Custom Sports Mouthguard
Sports accidents are common, and a mouthguard is especially beneficial to athletes who participate in high-contact activities. It is not uncommon to see athletes who have sustained serious damage to their teeth that could have been easily prevented or minimized by a mouthguard. Football, hockey, soccer and basketball are examples of just a few high-risk sports in which participants should wear mouth protection.
As an added benefit, we have mouthguards that are composed of materials that are absorptive to force. This means that the guards not only protect the teeth, but may also lessen the force to the entire skull and brain should the wearer suffer an injury such as a concussion.
We believe the community's adolescents should be able to afford the best care and we always offer them at the most affordable price possible with the help of our lab in Green Bay, WI qualitycrownandbridge.com. Part of Quality Labs' philosophy is to prevent as many sports injuries as possible, so they provide the materials and fabrication of the device as affordably as possible and we supply the impression material and time at no charge. The devices will vary in price from $50-80 instead of $250-350, depending on color and custom concussion needs.
