Dental Splints / Mouthguards in Everton Hills, Brisbane

Splints and Night Guards are worn to decrease muscular activity and the grinding of teeth.
Made from a strong medical plastic, Splints and Night Guards fit over the upper and lower teeth. They work by preventing the teeth from coming together, lessening the wear and tear of teeth. They are also used to correct the bite by positioning the teeth in their most correct and least traumatic position.

The difference between a Splint and Night Guard is that a Night Guard is only worn at night and a Splint may be worn full time (24 hours a day, 7 days a week).

Accidents can happen at any time on the field. A properly fitting Mouth Guard can prevent broken teeth as well as injuries to the lips, tongue, face or jaw.

A Mouth Guard is the very best protection you can offer your smile. Anyone who participates in a sport that carries a significant risk of injury should wear a Mouth Guard. This includes a wide range of sports like football, hockey, basketball, baseball, gymnastics and volleyball. A properly fitted Mouth Guard is especially important for people who wear braces or have fixed bridge work.

At Everton Hills Dental Clinic we create custom made Mouth Guards for your individual dental needs. Correctly fitting Mouth Guards will stay in place whilst you are wearing them; enabling you to breathe and talk as usual.
