Dr. Wood and Dr. Schapper use a variety of innovative designs depending on treatment goals and your preferences.

Snore Guards

Due to a number of reasons like the anatomy of your mouth and sinuses, alcohol consumption, allergies, a cold, and also your weight, snoring can occur. Oral appliances provide the least invasive option and often a good choice for the treatment of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea. With the help of a snore guard, the patient's jaw could be prevented from receding, thus keeping the air passage of the throat open by keeping an opening for the tongue.

Bruxism (A Night Guard Appliance for Grinding Teeth at Night)

Teeth are the hardest substance in our bodies and can withstand a tremendous amount of force. However, damage can occur, especially when teeth grinding forces occur at night. A habit of nighttime clenching or grinding will harm teeth, muscles, and jaw joints over time. Protecting your teeth against abrasive forces is critical. If you're waking up with a sore jaw or headaches, or you've noticed chips or flattening of your teeth, a consult with Dr. Wood and Dr. Schapper is recommended. The sooner the problem receives attention, the less damage there will be. Often a carefully calibrated night guard will eliminate the symptoms while protecting your precious enamel.
