Removable dental appliances and guards play important roles in oral health and safety. Dentures help restore function and confidence for individuals with missing teeth, while mouthguards protect teeth and prevent injuries during sports or activities.
Definition:
Removables: Removable dental appliances, commonly known as dentures, are prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be easily removed and reinserted by the patient. Removable dentures are custom-made to fit the individual’s mouth and are made of various materials like acrylic resin, metal, or a combination of both.
Guards: A guard dental, more commonly known as a mouthguard, is a protective device worn over the teeth to prevent or reduce injuries to the teeth, mouth, and jaw. It is typically made of flexible material and can be custom-fitted by a dentist or purchased over the counter.
Benefits of Removable & Guard:
Removable dental appliances, or dentures, offer numerous benefits to individuals with missing teeth. They restore the ability to chew and speak properly, improving overall quality of life. Dentures also enhance facial aesthetics by filling gaps and preventing sagging, leading to a more youthful appearance and increased confidence.
The non-invasive nature of dentures makes them accessible to a wider range of patients, while their affordability compared to other options makes them an attractive choice. Additionally, the ease of cleaning and maintenance promotes good oral hygiene, contributing to overall oral health.
Dental guards offer essential protection for oral health and well-being. Primarily, they prevent tooth damage, soft tissue injuries, and jaw injuries during physical activities or sports by cushioning the impact and absorbing shock. Additionally, specialized guards like nightguards alleviate teeth grinding and associated jaw pain, headaches, and sleep disturbances. By safeguarding existing dental work and potentially improving athletic performance, dental guards are a cost-effective solution for preventing costly treatments and enhancing overall quality of life.
Types of Removable & Guard:
Removable
Complete Dentures: Replace all teeth in either the upper or lower jaw, or both. They rest on the gums and are held in place by suction or adhesives.
Partial Dentures: Replace one or more missing teeth in a jaw, attaching to the remaining natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments.
Materials Used:
Acrylic Resin: The most common material for denture bases, it is durable and can be customized to match the color of gums.
Metal: Used for partial denture frameworks and clasps, providing strength and support.
Porcelain: Used for artificial teeth, mimicking the natural appearance of teeth.
Guard
Mouthguard: A mouthguard is a flexible appliance, usually made of plastic or laminate, that is worn over the teeth to protect them from injury during sports or physical activity. It can also be used to prevent teeth grinding during sleep (bruxism).
Night guard: A night guard, also known as an occlusal splint or bite splint, is a type of mouthguard specifically designed to be worn during sleep. It helps to prevent teeth grinding and clenching, which can cause tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches.
Anti-snoring device: An anti-snoring device is a dental appliance that helps to keep the airway open during sleep, reducing or eliminating snoring. There are different types of anti-snoring devices, including mandibular advancement devices (MADs) and tongue-retaining devices (TRDs). These devices work by repositioning the jaw or tongue to improve airflow.
