Excessive jaw clenching and bruxism can accelerate tooth and jaw deterioration, and snoring can impact the quality of your own sleep and that of those around you. To help our patients most comfortably avoid this, we customize snore and night guards unique to their bite. One type of night guard acts as a cushion between the top and bottom dental arches while the other creates more space between the front teeth to prevent the top and lower jaw from touching. Snore prevention mouth pieces look similar, but instead of acting as a cushion or spacer, they keep the lower jaw forward, thereby preventing pressure on the larynx.
Explore your Dental Night and Snore Guards options during a consultation at our practice. Feel free to give us a call at (860) 445-1330 or schedule an appointment online.
