Oral Appliances

At Capital Family Dentistry, we believe in gentle, effective care. One of our goals is to provide the most conservative treatment possible. Oral appliances are simple, non-invasive tools that help manage a variety of dental and jaw conditions. Every appliance we provide is custom-made for your comfort and function.

Appliances are designed based on models of your teeth. They can fit on your upper teeth, lower teeth, or both. Depending on your needs, they may help with:

  • Nighttime teeth grinding
  • Diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea
  • Bite problems
  • Jaw joint discomfort

Dr. Lee uses a variety of innovative designs. Each appliance is chosen to match your treatment goals and personal preferences.

Teeth Grinding  

If you wake up with:

  • A sore jaw
  • Morning headaches
  • Tight jaw muscles
  • Tooth sensitivity

…you might be grinding your teeth.

Teeth are the hardest substances in our body, but that doesn’t mean they are damage free. Nighttime grinding or clenching can wear down teeth, strain muscles, and stress jaw joints over time. Therefore, it is necessary to wear oral appliances to help you protect your precious teeth and your jaw.

Permanent damage can be avoided more easily if grinding is treated as soon as possible. A personalized night guard can ease tension in your jaw joints, protect your enamel, and relax your muscles.

Dr. Lee’s advice and easy techniques can also help control clenching habits during the day. Our objective is to safeguard your smile now and avoid more serious issues down the road.
