Guards & Realignment
We offer a full range of guards and realignment products including the following:
Sports Guards & Mouth Guards
We fabricate our own sports guards on site to help prevent concussions and injuries to the teeth. A custom mould of the teeth is taken in office and we fabricate the mouth guard in the colour of your choice.
During routine examinations, we sometimes discover that you may have a clenching or grinding habit that you may or may not be aware of. Customized night/day guards can be made to protect your teeth from the damaging effects of clenching and/or grinding. Patient’s who wake up with headaches and carry a great deal of tension in their facial musculature may also benefit from a custom guard.
Invisalign
Invisalign is a form of orthodontic treatment that employs a series of clear plastic “aligners” to slowly reposition teeth . Treatment often ranges from 6 months to 2 years time. What’s great about Invisalign is that the aligners can be removed during meals, allow for normal brushing and flossing, and they are nearly invisible. Ask us if you are a good candidate for Invisalign.
