Nightguards & Snoreguards
At River Street Denal, we offer custom-made nightguards and snoreguards to help protect your teeth and improve your sleep quality. Nightguards are designed to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism) while you sleep, reducing the risk of tooth wear, jaw pain, and headaches.
Snoreguards are oral appliances that help reduce snoring and mild sleep apnea by gently repositioning the jaw to keep your airway open, promoting better airflow and a quieter, more restful night’s sleep. Our custom-fitted devices are tailored to your specific needs, ensuring maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Why Choose
Nightguards & snoreguards
Nightguards are essential for anyone who experiences teeth grinding or clenching during sleep, a condition known as bruxism. This habit can lead to serious dental issues such as tooth wear, fractures, jaw pain, and chronic headaches. By wearing a custom-made nightguard, you can protect your teeth from damage, alleviate discomfort, and prevent long-term complications, ensuring your smile stays healthy and strong.
For those who suffer from snoring or mild sleep apnea, snoreguards offer a simple yet effective solution. Snoring not only disrupts your sleep but can also affect your partner’s rest. A custom-fitted snoreguard gently repositions your jaw to keep your airway open, reducing snoring and improving airflow. This leads to a quieter, more restful night’s sleep, helping you wake up feeling refreshed and improving overall sleep quality for both you and your loved ones.
