If you are in search of mouthguards in the Bronx, NY area, we can help! Mouthguards work to protect your smile from harm and keep your teeth safe. By protecting your smile, you can avoid unnecessary damage to your teeth.
Teeth Grinding
If you suffer from teeth grinding while you sleep, a custom mouthguard can cover your smile and protect your teeth. By halting teeth grinding at night, you can save your teeth from being worn down over time. Constant teeth grinding can lead to teeth sensitivity, loose teeth, cracked teeth and even tooth loss. A mouthguard will help align your jaw into a position that prevents grinding, and even if you do clench or grind your teeth, the material will protect your tooth structure.
Sports
If you or your child is involved in sports, a protective mouthguard can help you avoid dental emergencies. Many dental injuries are a result of sports or activities, but often they are completely preventable with a mouthguard. By protecting your smile, you can make sure your teeth are safe while you play. We want to do our part in keeping your smile safe while you stay active! Professional mouthguards are found to be superior to those you can purchase in stores, because we custom make your mouthguard to match your smile specifically. This makes them feel more comfortable and fit more securely.
Retainers
Following orthodontic treatment, a custom retainer is often needed to help keep your teeth in place as they adjust to their new position. Custom retainers are made to fit your smile securely and comfortably. There are different types of retainers available. Your orthodontist can help determine the best type of retainer depending on your dental needs. If you are in need of a retainer in Bronx, NY, call our office today!
- Removable Retainers
Removable retainers can be taken out for brushing, flossing and eating. Some patients only need to wear their retainer at night or for a certain amount of time throughout the day. Removable retainers allow you to enjoy all of the foods you love while maintaining a healthy smile.
- Fixed Retainers
A fixed retainer is attached to the back of the teeth and stays in place permanently. A fixed retainer removes the possibility of getting lost. You also won’t have to worry about forgetting to wear your retainer.
- Aligner-style Retainers
Much like clear aligners, aligner-style retainers are nearly invisible. These retainers are custom-made once your orthodontic treatment is finished. Aligner-style retainers fit over your teeth and help keep them in place following treatment.
Keep your teeth, and bite, safe all year long! Schedule a consultation with our team today to find out how mouthguards or retainers can help you!
