Gum Shields and Bite Appliances
Different options can be discussed with our dentist Natalie, who is highly experienced in jaw-clenching issues, if you feel you may benefit from a night guard.
If you suffer from jaw ache, headaches or even a stiff neck on waking, this may be a sign that you are clenching or grinding at night.
Protect your family’s teeth during physically intensive sporting activities and prevent dental trauma that may lead to severe dental problems.
What are the causes of teeth grinding?
Custom-made for you
Every gum shield and bite appliance we provide is made from impressions of your own teeth for a comfortable, secure fit.
Sports guards
Sports guards are an absolute must in any contact sport, such as rugby, hockey and boxing. The trauma that can occur in these sports can easily cause people to lose teeth if they are not wearing a sports guard.
They can be made for patients of any age, but for children, bear in mind that they will lose their baby teeth as adult teeth come through, so a new sports guard may be needed each year.
You can order a range of colours and combinations, so please ask if you or your child needs one, and we can arrange impressions for the laboratory to make a custom mouthguard.
