We believe that certain appliances can benefit the patient in situations where they have sleep apnea issues, grinding or bruxing, or need structural expansions. The types of appliances we use are:
-nighttime orthotic appliance: This one is used to prevent grinding and clenching and also structurally support the bite during sleep. This appliance can also be used during the day if you have severe structural issues with bite.
-avant: This appliance is used to open the airway by protruding ones bite into a target position that will allow more oxygen flow that will prevent having apnea attacks during sleep.
-standard adult night guard: This is your standard night guard that will help with grinding and clenching.
-DNA/mRNA: This is used in cases where somebody might be in need of expansion.
