Protecting Your Teeth Starts With the Right Appliance

More Than Just a Mouthguard Dental appliances are custom-made devices designed to protect your teeth, correct functional issues, and improve your quality of life. Whether you are grinding at night, playing contact sports, or struggling with snoring or jaw pain, the right appliance makes a meaningful difference. At Expo Yaletown, every appliance is fitted to your exact bite using precise digital impressions — no generic trays, no guesswork.

Why Custom Beats Over-the-Counter Every Time Pharmacy mouthguards are one-size-fits-most and rarely fit well. A poorly fitting appliance can be uncomfortable, ineffective, and in some cases make the problem worse. Custom appliances fitted by our team are:

  • Precisely shaped to your teeth and bite
  • More comfortable to wear, making compliance far more likely
  • More durable and longer lasting
  • Clinically effective in a way that generic options simply are not

The Appliances We Offer

Night Guards for Bruxism and Teeth Grinding If you wake up with jaw pain, headaches, or worn-down teeth, you may be grinding or clenching in your sleep — a condition known as bruxism. A custom night guard sits between your upper and lower teeth, absorbing the force of grinding and protecting your enamel from further damage. Signs you may need a night guard include:

  • Worn, flattened, or chipped teeth
  • Jaw soreness or tension in the morning
  • Frequent headaches, especially on waking
  • A partner telling you that you grind your teeth at night

 

Sports Mouth Guards for Athletes in Vancouver

Whether you play hockey, rugby, basketball, or martial arts, a custom sports mouth guard protects your teeth, lips, and jaw from impact. Custom guards fit securely and do not shift during play, giving you better protection and less interference with breathing and communication than a boil-and-bite alternative. We make guards for adults and children across all contact and collision sports.

  • Retainers After Orthodontic Treatment
    Teeth naturally shift after orthodontic treatment ends. A retainer holds your teeth in their final corrected positions and protects the investment you made in your smile. We fit both fixed and removable retainers depending on what Dr. Hamanishi recommends for your case.
  • Snoring and Sleep Apnea Devices
    Snoring and mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea can often be managed with a custom oral appliance that gently repositions the jaw during sleep, keeping the airway open. This is a comfortable, non-invasive alternative to a CPAP machine for suitable patients. If you or your partner have concerns about snoring or interrupted breathing during sleep, speak to our team at your next appointment.
  • TMD and Jaw Pain Appliances
    Temporomandibular disorder, commonly known as TMD or TMJ, causes pain, clicking, and restricted movement in the jaw joint. A custom occlusal splint helps reduce muscle tension, protect the joint, and alleviate the headaches and facial pain that often accompany the condition. Our dentists assess TMD symptoms thoroughly before recommending the appropriate appliance.
