CUSTOM APPLIANCES FOR OPTIMAL ORAL HEALTH

Protecting your teeth goes beyond brushing and flossing. At Kerrisdale House of Dentistry, we offer a range of custom dental appliances designed to safeguard your smile from grinding, sports injuries, jaw pain, and sleep-related issues. Whether you need a night guard, sports mouthguard, or TMJ treatment, our team provides personalized solutions for long-term oral health.

NIGHT GUARDS – PROTECT YOUR TEETH FROM GRINDING

Teeth grinding (bruxism) can cause tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches. A custom night guard provides a protective barrier, reducing pressure on your teeth and preventing long-term damage. Unlike store-bought options, our night guards are precisely fitted for comfort and durability.

SLEEP APNEA APPLIANCES – IMPROVE YOUR BREATHING & SLEEP QUALITY

Struggling with snoring or disrupted sleep? Sleep apnea can lead to fatigue, headaches, and long-term health risks. Our custom oral appliances help keep your airway open, reducing snoring and promoting restful sleep without the need for a CPAP machine.

SPORTS MOUTHGUARDS – PROTECT YOUR SMILE ON THE FIELD

Athletes are at risk of dental injuries from impact sports. A custom sports mouthguard provides superior protection against tooth fractures, jaw injuries, and concussions. Made from excellent materials, our mouthguards are comfortable, durable, and allow easy breathing—perfect for athletes of all ages.

TMD/TMJ TREATMENT – RELIEF FOR JAW PAIN & DISCOMFORT

Chronic jaw pain, clicking, or headaches? You may have a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD/TMJ). We offer custom splints and oral appliances to relieve pressure, correct jaw alignment, and improve overall comfort. Early intervention can prevent long-term damage and pain.

We also collaborate closely with a trusted network of specialists and refer patients whose needs fall outside our scope of expertise, ensuring they receive the highest standard of care.

RETAINERS

Retainers are most often used to maintain the position of your teeth after braces are removed. Once an orthodontist removes your braces, your teeth may begin to shift back to their original position. To prevent this, your orthodontist will likely recommend you wear a retainer after your braces come off for several months to a year. Be sure to ask about the specific length of time you’ll need to wear a retainer for it to be effective, as treatment times vary.

Another use for retainers is to slowly move the teeth into a more desirable position. However, they can only be used for small corrections that don’t require traditional orthodontic treatments, such as braces.

In some cases, orthodontic patients will only be given a single retainer for the top arch of teeth or the bottom arch of teeth. In other cases, retainers for both the top and bottom arches might be necessary.
