Vancouver Mouthguards

Redtree Dental prioritizes the oral health and safety of our patients, particularly those engaged in sports or those affected by teeth grinding. In order to protect your teeth as well as your overall oral health, we are pleased to provide custom-made mouthguards tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Sports guards are specialized oral appliances that offer crucial protection against dental injuries during physical activities by absorbing impact and reducing the risk of broken or dislodged teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue and jaw. For people experiencing teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching, our custom night guards provide a comfortable solution, helping to prevent dental damage to enamel and alleviate symptoms like jaw pain and headaches. Investing in a custom night guard or sports guard at Redtree Dental allows you to confidently protect your teeth and smile against potential injuries and wear-and-tear.

If you often wake up with jaw discomfort, headaches or toothaches, or you have flattered the biting surfaces/edges of your teeth, you may be experiencing bruxism, a common condition characterized by teeth grinding. This habitual action can occur unconsciously, while you are asleep or awake, making it challenging to control. Redtree Dental recognizes the impact of bruxism on both your oral and overall health, and we provide tailored solutions to alleviate its effects. Our custom-made dental appliances, known as bruxism appliances or night guards, are essential interventions. These removable plastic guards are designed to fit snugly over your upper or lower teeth, realigning the jaw to reduce clicking and grinding. The primary function of the guard is to prevent your upper and lower teeth from touching, thereby alleviating stress on the temporomandibular joint and helping to ease associated jaw pain and headaches. In addition to providing relief, these night guards offer a cushioning effect that protects against enamel erosion and dental damage caused by grinding. Instead of wearing away your tooth enamel, the plastic guard takes the brunt of the wear. While night guards may not eliminate the root cause of bruxism, they are vital for protecting teeth and minimizing the risk of further complications. Though symptoms like jaw pain may persist until grinding stops, these appliances play a crucial role in preserving your dental health and well-being.

Sports-related injuries to the mouth are unfortunately quite common, ranging from minor tooth chips to more severe trauma affecting delicate oral tissues. At Redtree Dental, we recognize the importance of protecting your smile, which is why we offer personalized solutions through custom-made sports guards. These carefully crafted mouthguards are made from durable plastic and are tailored to precisely fit each patient’s mouth. Whether you participate in contact sports, are prone to falls or engage in activities where flying equipment poses risks, our sports guards are essential for safeguarding your teeth and preserving your smile. They also help to prevent concussions. Unlike generic store-bought options that are bulky and one-size-fits-all, our custom sports guards provide superior fit, comfort and effectiveness. Designed to absorb impact shock, they offer exceptional protection against potential fractures, chips and other oral injuries. This level of defense is especially crucial for individuals engaged in sports while undergoing orthodontic treatment, as our sports guards help prevent damage to braces and reduce the risk of soft tissue injuries in the mouth. With Redtree Dental’s custom sports guards, you can pursue your athletic activities with confidence, knowing your mouth and smile are well-protected.
