Night Guard

Many people clench or grind their teeth to the point of destructiveness. Most people are completely unaware that they do it, because often they do it while they sleep. Night guards are coverings worn over teeth, and often used to protect teeth from injury from clenching and grinding. Once your dentist determines that you’re a good candidate for a night guard, we will create one that’s custom-made for your mouth.

Sleep Apnea Appliance

Oral appliances, also called dental appliances or devices, may be an option for patients who cannot tolerate CPAP. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends dental devices for patients with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea. The Thornton Adjustable Positioner® (TAP®) is a simple,  patient-friendly treatment solution for snoring and sleep apnea. The TAP holds the lower jaw in a forward position so that it does not fall open during the night and cause the airway to collapse. It maintains a clear airway to reduce snoring and improve breathing.
