Dental appliances can play a crucial role in protecting your child’s oral health and supporting the proper development of their teeth and jaws. Whether preventing tooth movement or shielding teeth from damage, these custom devices are tailored to meet your child’s unique needs.
Here’s a closer look at the types of appliances we offer:

Space Maintainers

What They Are

Space maintainers are small, custom-made devices used to hold space in your child’s mouth if a baby tooth is lost prematurely. They ensure that neighboring teeth don’t shift into the empty space, allowing the adult tooth to emerge properly.

Why They’re Important

Losing a baby tooth too early can cause alignment issues and crowding as the permanent teeth come in. Space maintainers prevent this, reducing the need for more complex orthodontic treatment in the future.

Comfort and Fit

Made of smooth, child-friendly materials, space maintainers are designed for comfort and ease of wear. We’ll ensure a perfect fit and provide tips to help your child care for their appliance. illustrations of kids dental appliances - space maintainers and a mouthguard

Mouth Guards

For Active Kids

Whether your child plays soccer, basketball, or any contact sport, a mouth guard is essential for protecting their teeth, gums, and jaws from injury.

Custom Fit for Comfort

Unlike over-the-counter options, our custom mouth guards are designed to fit snugly and comfortably, making it easier for your child to breathe and speak while wearing them.

Colorful and Fun Options

Kids love choosing their favorite colors or designs for their mouth guards, turning essential protection into something fun and personalized.

Night Guards

For Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

If your child grinds their teeth at night, a custom-fitted night guard can prevent enamel wear, tooth sensitivity, and jaw discomfort.

Gentle and Protective

Made from soft but durable materials, our night guards shield your child’s teeth while ensuring they sleep comfortably.

Long-Term Benefits

Using a night guard not only protects against current damage but also prevents more significant dental issues down the road.

A Tailored Solution for Every Need

Every child is unique, and we carefully evaluate your child’s oral health to determine the best appliance for their needs. Whether it’s maintaining space, preventing injuries, or protecting teeth at night, we ensure that the appliance is both effective and easy for your child to use.
