Anti-Snoring Appliances
Anti-Snoring Devices & Night Guards – In addition to dentures, UCH Denture Clinic can help protect your smile (and your sleep) with custom-made oral appliances.
• Anti-Snoring Devices: If you or your loved ones are kept awake by snoring, a custom anti-snoring appliance might be the solution. This device is a special type of mouthpiece worn during sleep that gently holds your lower jaw in a slightly forward position. By doing so, it helps keep your airway open and prevents the throat structures from vibrating (the cause of snoring). A well-fitted snoring appliance can significantly reduce or eliminate snoring and may also help with mild obstructive sleep apnea. Our appliances are thin, comfortable, and made to fit your teeth precisely. You’ll be able to breathe easier at night and enjoy quieter, more restful sleep.
• Night Guards (Bruxism Guards): For patients who grind or clench their teeth during sleep (a condition known as bruxism), we offer custom night guards. Grinding can lead to tooth wear, chipped teeth, and jaw pain. A night guard is a clear, durable acrylic appliance that fits over your upper or lower teeth, creating a protective barrier. It absorbs the forces of grinding/clenching and prevents teeth from wearing down. Each night guard is made from an exact mold of your teeth, ensuring it’s comfortable and stays securely in place overnight. By wearing a night guard, you’ll protect your natural teeth and wake up with a more relaxed jaw.
Why Custom-Made? Unlike over-the-counter devices, our anti-snoring appliances and night guards are custom-crafted to fit your unique mouth. This means better effectiveness and comfort. Stepan Holovchak will take precise impressions of your teeth and bite registration to fabricate an appliance that works best for you.
If you suffer from loud snoring or morning jaw soreness, talk to us about these solutions. A small oral appliance could make a big difference in your quality of life – protecting your teeth and helping you (and those around you) sleep soundly.
