Meer Healthcare Group offers a complete range of Sports Mouth Guards and Night Splint appliances. Our clinicians can discuss your options and recommend the relevant appliance for your specific situation.
Sports Mouthguards
We appreciate that physical activity and team sports are a positive and fun part of everyday life; however, trauma occurring in sport is one of the leading causes of broken/compromised teeth.
Our team may ensure that your smile is taken care of on and off the field. A mouthguard is a great way to help ensure you’re best protected against any unavoidable accidents. We offer form-fitting, custom made mouthguards, personalised especially for you. The materials used to make these mouth guards have a longer life span and are more durable than the generic mouthguards.
Prepare for the season properly and invest in the safety and longevity of your teeth.
Splint/ Night Guard
Clenching or grinding is the act of gnashing your teeth together, often whilst sleeping. When the teeth are in contact too much, and with too much force, it can lead to a loss of enamel, the tooth’s protective outer layer. Continual clenching and grinding can cause irreversible damage to the tooth, as well as causing muscle stiffness in the jaw, and in some cases, headaches.
A splint, or night guard, is an acrylic device worn at night to protect your teeth and muscles from the grinding habit. Splints help preserve your teeth and can eliminate future problems that might occur as a result of constant wear and tear.
