What Dental Appliances Are Available in Upper Arlington?
At Mark A. Miely, DDS, we offer a variety of custom-made dental appliances to address different needs. These include:
- Deprogrammers: These diagnostic tools help Dr. Miely analyze your bite and identify the source of discomfort or misalignment.
- Night Guards: Protect your teeth from the damaging effects of teeth grinding (bruxism) while you sleep.
We also offer appliances for sleep apnea and snoring, TMJ treatment, and more. Dr. Miely will carefully assess your needs and recommend the best appliance for your unique situation.
Deprogrammer
Many people experience discomfort or misalignment in their bite without realizing the cause, leading to issues like TMJ, headaches, or even damaging their teeth little bits at a time. A deprogrammer can help identify the source of the problem and highlight any specific areas that need adjustment, meaning you get a solution tailored to your specific needs.
This small, comfortable appliance allows Dr. Miely to analyze your bite and find any imbalances with pinpoint accuracy, taking out any guesswork and delivering results you can rely on.
Could I Benefit From a Deprogrammer?
You might benefit from a deprogrammer if you experience any of the following:
- Difficulty chewing certain foods: Avoiding certain foods because of discomfort while chewing could be a sign of a bite issue.
- Misaligned bite: Does your jaw feel misaligned or strained? A deprogrammer can help identify the source of the problem.
- Worn-down teeth: Are your front teeth showing signs of wear or erosion?
- Noticeable tooth damage: Chipped or cracked teeth might indicate an uneven bite that’s putting excess pressure on certain teeth.
- Loose teeth: Do your teeth feel loose or wiggly?
- Jaw pain or tenderness: Do you experience soreness or discomfort in your jaw?
If any of these sound familiar, a deprogrammer can help us get to the root of the problem and provide the relief you deserve.
Night Guard
Do you ever wake up with a sore jaw or headache? You might be grinding your teeth at night without even realizing it. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can lead to serious dental problems including worn-down teeth, small fractures, and jaw pain. Our custom-made night guards can protect your teeth and jaw while you sleep.
Dr. Miely will create a night guard that fits your mouth perfectly, ensuring maximum comfort and protection designed just for you and your smile. We use high-quality materials that are easy to clean and transport, so you can maintain good oral hygiene effortlessly.
