Dental Appliances
What is a Dental Appliance?
Maintaining good oral health is more than just brushing and flossing. Your dentists might also recommend dental appliances if you play sports, grind your teeth, and snore.
At KMA Dental, we offer mouth guards and sleep apnea devices, that help protect oral health. These appliances are custom-made to fit your mouth and can be adjusted for optimal comfort.
Snoring & Sleep Apnea Appliances
Sleep disorders can disrupt your sleep and negatively impact your overall health and well-being.
If you snore, your relaxed throat tissues cause the airway to restrict, creating the sound of snoring as oxygen is forced past. If you experience sleep apnea, your throat tissues over-relax and obstruct your airway, causing your brain to wake up to breathe.
At KMA Dental, we provide custom-fitted oral appliances to move the lower jaw and tongue muscles to open the airway. This helps improve your breathing so that you do not have to wake up to breathe.
Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards
We offer custom-made mouth guards that fit over your teeth and are used to help protect the health of your oral cavity.
Sports Guards
If you get hit in the mouth during a sports activity, a mouth guard can help absorb or redistribute the shock, protecting your face, jaw, and teeth.
Night Guards
If you grind your teeth during sleep, a mouth guard 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 pain relief.
