Your smile deserves the best protection
Did you know that tooth enamel is even harder than bones? But even the hardest tissue in the body can get damaged by constant wear and tear. Teeth grinding (also known as bruxism) puts excessive pressure on your teeth, weakening them over time and leaving them vulnerable to chips, cracks, and even fractures. Thankfully, a custom night guard can keep your teeth strong and healthy.
But not only patients with bruxism can benefit from mouthguards. Our custom-made mouthguards are an effective, simple, versatile solution for many problems, including sleep apnea and TMJ disorder. They also help protect athletes from injuries and are highly recommended for patients with braces (especially if they practice any contact sports).
Are you looking for custom mouthguards in Ft Myers? Let’s talk!
Why custom mouthguards?
Many of our patients come to us after trying over-the-counter mouthguards without success. Store-bought guards are often made of a soft material that actually increases teeth grinding. Because they are not custom-made, they don’t fit perfectly in your mouth, making them uncomfortable and ineffective.
Although they seem more convenient and affordable, they are really less cost-effective than custom mouthguards, since they are usually less durable in the long run.
Benefits of custom mouthguards:
Comfortable, perfect fit
Increased protection
Odorless and tasteless
Allow you to breathe and talk normally
More durable than store-bought guards
