Do you suffer from nighttime teeth grinding or clenching? Are you or your child at risk of dental injury from sports? Both concerns can be effectively managed with custom nightguards and sportsguards from Alliston, ON dentist Dr. Oksana Vozna.

Types of Dental Guards

Nightguards for Bruxism

Bruxism, often stress-related, is the habit of clenching, grinding, or gnashing teeth, usually during sleep, but sometimes throughout the day. Left untreated, it can:

Wear down teeth prematurely
Cause chips, cracks, or fractures
Damage tooth roots, leading to possible root canal treatment
Trigger gum recession

Contribute to TMJ disorders, jaw pain, headaches, and facial or neck discomfort

A custom nightguard cushions the bite force, reduces strain on the jaw, and helps train the mouth into a relaxed “teeth apart, lips closed” position. Regular use not only protects your teeth but also improves daily comfort.

Sportsguards for Athletes

According to sources, more than five million teeth are knocked out each year, with nearly 39% of dental injuries caused by sports. Males are about twice as likely to suffer these accidents.

Sports mouthguards are essential for activities like:

Baseball, softball, basketball, football, hockey, rugby
Martial arts, boxing, wrestling, gymnastics, lacrosse
Cycling, skateboarding, skiing, skating, extreme sports
Soccer, volleyball, racquetball, squash, and more

A custom-fitted sports mouthguard distributes impact across the dental arch, reducing the risk of broken or knocked-out teeth, as well as jaw injuries and even concussions.

Why Choose a Custom-Made Mouthguard?

While store-bought “boil-and-bite” or stock guards are available, they don’t compare to the protection and comfort of a custom-made device from Dr. Vozna. Benefits include:

Superior protection – Made from durable thermoplastic that resists bite-through and tearing
Team colors – Personalize your guard to match your team or favorite colors
Cost savings – Prevent expensive restorative work caused by avoidable injuries
Comfortable fit – Easy to wear, allowing natural breathing, speaking, and hydration

Better overall health – Nightguards can improve sleep quality, reducing fatigue and discomfort
