Oral Appliances


Custom Appliances for Individual Needs

Dealing with the effects of chronic snoring, jaw discomfort, and restless nights of sleep can be exhausting. Though you may not be certain there is a larger issue at hand, it is never a bad idea to ask your dentist about an oral appliance. Dental appliances are custom-made to address individual needs, as no two smiles are the same, and can be used to address a few different concerns.

When You Can Benefit

An oral appliance is a dental device worn in the mouth to protect oral structures, maintain open airflow in the esophagus, and reposition the jaw or tongue. It guides or pulls the jaw or tongue in a particular position while you sleep in order to open your airway. Some appliances may be used to help prevent bruxism, or teeth grinding, from wearing down the surfaces of your teeth. For some, an oral appliance may serve as an alternative to a traditional CPAP machine.

Other benefits of a custom oral appliances include ease of use, improved sleep quality, and an overall reduction in snoring. Depending on your needs, your dentist will recommend the best course of treatment. For more information, schedule a consultation by calling Contemporary Dental in Bellaire, TX, today at 713-668-9119.
