Night / Snore Guard

Protect your teeth and enjoy quieter, more restful nights with a tailored solution
A night guard, or bruxism appliance, is a transparent, thin device you wear over the biting surface of your teeth. It is a mouthpiece that protects and covers your teeth to prevent and reduce injury from clenching your jaw and helps lighten the tension which gives cushion to the muscles of the jaw.
  • Less tension and less jaw pain
  • Prevents headaches, lessen the discomfort of TMJ
    (temporomandibular disorders)
  • Prevents tooth damage from grinding and clenching of the teeth which leads to chipped teeth, damaged fillings, and excessive wear of the teeth and the enamel.
This is an Oral customized removable appliance created for a non-invasive treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. It is made for patients to help treat snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. It is designed to both advance the mandible and open the bite to allow ample airflow during sleep.
The purpose of the snore guard is to move your jaw forward so that your upper airway is less restricted.
The appliance is equipped with nine different lengths of elastic straps to gradually and incrementally advance the mandible, and patients can easily choose the length that suits their needs. Consult with Dr Vert to what length that will best suit your needs.
Consult with your primary care physician if you are suffering from Sleep Apnea. Your primary care physician may require you to do a sleep study. It is recommended that patients consult with their primary physician to determine if the Dental Snore Guard Appliance is right for you.
