Mouth Guards and Snoring Appliances in Winnipeg

Many of our Winnipeg patients rely on our team for custom-made mouth guards to protect their teeth or address snoring issues. The most common types of mouth guards we provide are designed to protect your teeth during sports, prevent teeth grinding at night, and reposition the jaw to reduce snoring.

Sports Mouth Guards

Sports mouthguards are crucial for preventing sports-related injuries in both adults and children. Whether you play basketball, hockey, football, or another contact sport, a well-fitted mouth guard reduces the risk of serious dental injuries. Costly treatments due to trauma, such as orofacial injuries, can add up to $10,000 to $15,000 per tooth without proper protection. Additionally, sports mouth guards have been shown to reduce the risk of concussions in some cases.

At Linden Market Dental Centre, Dr. Morgan Winchar customizes every sports mouth guard for optimal comfort and performance. Designed to be odorless, tasteless, and sleek, these mouth guards minimize any interference with speaking and breathing while offering superior protection.

Night Guards

Bruxism, or chronic teeth grinding, is a common issue that can cause enamel damage, jaw pain, gum irritation, and tooth wear. People may grind their teeth during the day, but nighttime grinding poses a greater challenge as it often goes unnoticed.

A custom-made night guard from Dr. Winchar acts as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, protecting your enamel while also alleviating jaw-related discomfort. These night guards are designed with comfort in mind to ensure proper breathing and a good night’s sleep.

Snoring Prevention through Mouth Guards

For patients looking to reduce airway obstruction during sleep, anti-snoring appliances may be the solution. These specialized mouth guards reposition the jaw slightly forward to prevent the tongue from blocking the airway, reducing or eliminating snoring. Dr. Winchar custom fits each snoring appliance to ensure effectiveness, comfort, and ease of use for a more restful night’s sleep.

Custom Mouth Guards in Winnipeg

If you’re seeking comfort, effectiveness, and safety, custom-made mouth guards professionally created by Dr. Morgan Winchar are a great option. While stock mouth guards and boil-and-bite versions from sporting goods stores are readily available, they often lack the fit, durability, and protection needed for more demanding needs. Custom-fitted mouth guards, on the other hand, are tailored to your individual specifications using an impression of your teeth.

Dr. Winchar is proud to offer specialized mouth guards for athletes, individuals with bruxism, and those needing snoring prevention.
