From Night Guards to Snore Guards: Understanding Custom Oral Appliances

At Lakeview Dental, prevention is the key to a healthy, lasting smile. That’s why we provide high-quality, custom-made oral appliances designed to protect your teeth, jaws, and airway—day and night. Whether you need a night guard for grinding, a sports mouthguard, a retainer, or a sleep apnea device, our team delivers a comfortable fit and superior protection for patients throughout Winter Garden and Horizon West, Florida.

Benefits of Custom Oral Appliances

Our custom-made appliances can help:

  • Prevent nighttime grinding (bruxism) and protect teeth from wear and fracture.
  • Reduce sports-related injuries to teeth, lips, tongue, and gums.
  • Maintain orthodontic results and keep teeth from shifting.
  • Relieve sleep apnea symptoms and improve sleep quality.

Unlike store-bought options, every appliance is crafted from precise impressions of your teeth for an exact fit, maximum comfort, and long-lasting durability.

Night Guards for Teeth Grinding

Chronic teeth grinding or clenching—known as bruxism—can lead to:

  • Tooth wear, chips, or fractures
  • Jaw and facial pain
  • Morning headaches
  • TMJ disorders and damaged restorations

Our custom night guards cushion and separate your teeth while you sleep, preventing damage and reducing pain without interfering with your breathing.

Custom Sports Mouthguards

If you or your child plays contact or high-impact sports, a custom sports mouthguard is essential. Our professionally made guards help prevent:

  • Knocked-out or fractured teeth
  • Jaw injuries
  • Cuts to the lips, tongue, or cheeks

We can even personalize your mouthguard with school or team colors for added team spirit.

Retainers to Keep Your Smile Aligned

After orthodontic treatment, your teeth need time to stabilize. Custom retainers keep them in their new positions and prevent relapse. If you’ve lost your retainer or notice shifting, our dentists can create a replacement to preserve your straight, beautiful smile.

Sleep Apnea Oral Appliances

For patients diagnosed with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, we offer mandibular advancement devices. These comfortable appliances gently reposition your jaw forward to keep the airway open, reducing snoring and improving sleep quality—without the need for a CPAP machine.

Caring for Your Oral Appliance

To keep your device clean and long-lasting:

  • Brush daily with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste.
  • Rinse with cool water—never hot.
  • Store it in a protective case when not in use.
  • Bring it to your regular dental visits for inspection and cleaning.
