If you grind your teeth or play contact sports, your teeth need protection from themselves. Dr. Jonathan Haerter offers both sports guards and night guards, to keep teeth in their optimum condition.
Sports Guards
At Vail Dentistry, we offer Under Armour® brand sports guards, for a performance-enhancing boost and professional dental protection. Athletes of all ages benefit from the science behind the triggered release of cortisol (which is naturally released with jaw clenching, and can create fatigue). The sports guards is made of high quality materials that protect teeth from impact, so athletes can focus on their sport.
Mouthguards
For patients with TMJ pain or the tendency to clench or grind, Dr. Haerter makes mouthguards. Also called night guards, TENS orthotics or TENS occlusal guards, these mouthguards help teeth retain their surface structure while promoting a healthy bite. Dr. Haerter uses the TENS machine to provide soothing electrical stimulation to jaw muscles, so a relaxed position can be found. As such, our patients get more than just a bite guard! Our custom mouthguards are comfortable and made of the best materials.
“Thank you, Dr. Haerter, for your support. I am definitely smiling!” -Nicole Bradford, World Enduro Champion
While store-bought mouthguards are an option, they are not made just for you. Even with boil-and-bite technology, you will likely get a bulky appliance that is uncomfortable to use. Dr. Haerter offers custom mouthguards for Edwards, CO and Vail Valley area patients who want an appliance that will fit perfectly.
Rest easy or play harder with the best protection. Call Vail Dentistry in Edwards, CO for a mouthguards consultation today.
