Custom Sports Mouthguards

The Australian Dental Association (ADA) strongly recommends wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard during any sport or activity that carries a risk of impact to the face. A collision with a ball, sports equipment, another player or even a fall can cause serious damage to the teeth & jaws — including chipped, cracked or knocked-out teeth, cuts to the lips or cheeks, or even a fractured jaw.

A professionally fitted mouthguard helps absorb the force of impact, reducing the severity of injuries & lowering the chance of needing an emergency dentist.

Night Splints for Teeth Grinding & TMJ Disorder

Teeth grinding is a common condition often linked to stress, sleep issues or lifestyle factors. If you find yourself grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw — whether during the day or at night, we recommend booking an appointment with your dentist. When left untreated, this can progress to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD), causing ongoing discomfort & functional issues.

A custom night splint provides a protective barrier between the teeth, helping prevent chipping, fracturing, loosening or excessive wear. It can also help reduce pressure on the jaw joints, offering relief from stiffness, discomfort & related TMJ symptoms.

Oral Appliances for OSA

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common chronic sleep disorder where the airway temporarily collapses or becomes blocked during sleep, causing interruptions to normal breathing. OSA can be linked to several factors, including:

• Nasal obstruction
• Enlarged tonsils
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Obesity

A custom oral appliance can help relieve symptoms in mild to moderate cases of OSA. The appliance gently moves the lower jaw forward to open the airway, reducing obstruction & minimising vibration — the main cause of snoring. Your dentist can provide a referral to a sleep study specialist for a diagnosis and combined care plan.
