How We Can Help?
It can significantly impact your oral health, reducing the risk of complications such as:
Excessive Damage and Fracturing:
Abnormal biting patterns can lead to enamel wear, causing teeth to break or wear against each other.
Worn Down or Broken Restorations:
Unhealthy relationships between upper and lower teeth can damage crowns and fillings.
Tooth Decay:
Crooked or crowded teeth are harder to clean, making them more susceptible to decay.
Gum Disease, Bone, and Tooth Loss:
Similar to tooth decay, gum disease can result from challenging-to-clean teeth.
TMJ Disorders, Migraines, and Headaches:
Misaligned teeth can strain jaw muscles, leading to discomfort over time.

Athletic Mouthguards
Protect your child during sports activities with custom-made athletic mouthguards. Even friendly neighborhood games can lead to dental injuries, so ensure your children have the proper protective gear for their oral safety.
Nightguards (for teeth grinding)
Children who grind their teeth at night can damage tooth surfaces. We offer comfortable nightguards to prevent further harm, ensuring the future of their teeth remains intact.
Preventative Space Maintainers
When primary (baby) teeth are lost prematurely due to injury or disease, they can cause neighboring teeth to shift out of place, potentially leading to future dental issues. We can place temporary space maintainers to keep your child's teeth aligned until their permanent teeth emerge, preventing problems like crowding and crookedness.
