3D-Printed Retainers
After you complete orthodontic treatment, in order to keep your teeth from shifting back into their original positions, you’ll be required to wear a retainer. Using our 3D printer, we’re able to craft your retainer in-house, allowing you to receive your first one or a replacement faster.
Nightguards for Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
If your child grinds and clenches their teeth at night, they’re at a higher risk of cracking, fracturing, or chipping a tooth. To prevent a visit to a pediatric emergency dentist in El Paso, consider investing in a customized nightguard. This will protect their teeth as they sleep, as well as your wallet from costly dental procedures.
Occlusal Splints for TMJ Treatment
TMJ disorder is a common condition that impacts the function and comfort of the paired joints that hinge the lower jaw to the upper jaw, called the temporomandibular joints. Our team can craft a customized occlusal splint that can be worn at night to relieve the pressure in these joints, helping minimize your child’s TMJ symptoms.
Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea Treatment
Does your child snore at night? While there can be several underlying causes for this, including bite problems, another answer is an oral appliance. Crafted to treat the signs of sleep apnea in children, these oral appliances help hold the airway open to ensure ample oxygen flow during sleep. With regular use, they can prevent daytime fatigue as well as a variety of other symptoms associated with sleep-breathing disorders.
