Why Should I Get Appliance Therapy?

If you’re experiencing jaw tension, chronic headaches, worn teeth, or interrupted sleep, appliance therapy might be the solution. These custom-made devices are designed to address the root cause of your symptoms, whether it’s a misaligned bite, teeth grinding, or a restricted airway. Because appliance therapy is non-invasive and tailored to you, it’s often a preferred alternative to more complex or surgical treatments. At our office, we evaluate your specific symptoms and goals to determine which appliance will offer the most benefit—whether that’s a splint, nightguard, retainer, Moses appliance, or D-PASS. Relief may be just one appliance away.

Our custom splints are designed to gently realign the jaw, relieve muscle tension, and protect against damage from teeth grinding or clenching.
