Mouth Guards and Retainers

Mouth Guards and Retainers

Mouth Guards and Retainers are essential services for preserving oral health and prolonging dental treatments. Mouth guards are a preventive solution, designed for people who grind their teeth at night or for those engaged in athletic activities. By cushioning and protecting teeth, they prevent wear, fractures, and other potential injuries. On the other hand, retainers play a crucial role post-orthodontic treatment. By using them, you can maintain the alignment of your teeth, ensuring that the results of orthodontic procedures like braces are preserved. These devices are custom-fitted to each individual’s mouth, ensuring optimal comfort and effectiveness.

At 24th Street Dental Biltmore in Phoenix, AZ, we specialize in providing high-quality mouth guards and retainers. As one of the few practices in Arizona, we boast in-house equipment to manufacture retainers using the same high-grade materials as third-party laboratories. This capability allows us to offer our retainers at a fraction of the cost and with a much faster turnaround time. To ensure your oral health is maintained and your dental treatments remain effective, schedule an appointment with us for your mouth guard or retainer needs.
