Many dental and jaw-related conditions develop gradually over time and may worsen if left unmanaged.
For example:
Dental appliances are designed to help protect the teeth, jaws, and surrounding structures while supporting long-term oral health and comfort.
At SmileBright Dental, we provide a range of custom-made appliances including:
Each appliance is individually designed to suit the patient’s needs, comfort, and dental condition.
SmileBright Dental continually expands to advanced technology that improves both patient experience and treatment quality.
Through the unwavering support, advanced education, and skill of our dedicated team, we are proud to offer modern in-house 3D printing technology that allows many custom dental appliances to be designed and manufactured directly within the practice.
Using advanced Primeprint 3D printing technology by Dentsply Sirona, our team can create highly precise retainers, splints, whitening trays, and other custom appliances with exceptional accuracy, comfort, and efficiency.
Traditionally, patients often needed to wait up to two weeks for appliances to be manufactured through external dental laboratories. Through our investment in top-of-the-line digital technology and modern workflows, many appliances can now be produced far more efficiently right here within our practice.
This allows our team to create beautiful, functional, and highly customised appliances in significantly reduced timeframes while maintaining extremely high clinical standards.
By combining advanced technology with the warmth, communication, and dedicated support of our team, we aim to create a smoother, more comfortable, and more reassuring experience for every patient.
A Mandibular Advancement Splint (MAS) is a custom-made medical device used for adults to help manage symptoms of mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnoea, snoring, and night-time teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism). It is prescribed and fitted by your dentist following an assessment and diagnosis, generally requiring supporting documentation such as a sleep study.
The MAS is made up of a custom upper and lower appliance that fit comfortably over your teeth, similar to a night guard. Its main function is to gently hold the lower jaw in a slightly forward position while you sleep. This helps prevent the jaw from falling backwards, which can narrow or block the airway during sleep.
Treatment with a MAS is highly individualised, meaning the appliance is custom designed specifically for your mouth and carefully adjusted to maximise both comfort and effectiveness.
If you have concerns about snoring, poor sleep quality, daytime fatigue, or have already been diagnosed with mild to moderate sleep apnoea, our dentists can assess whether a Mandibular Advancement Splint may be suitable for you.
Many patients grind or clench their teeth without realising, particularly during sleep.
Over time this can contribute to:
Custom night splints are designed to help protect the teeth and reduce pressure on the jaw muscles and joints.
Custom-made sports mouthguards are designed to help protect teeth, gums, and jaws during sporting activities.
Unlike store-bought mouthguards, custom mouthguards are individually fitted for improved comfort, retention, and protection.
They may help reduce the risk of:
Custom mouthguards are available in a variety of colours and designs.
After orthodontic treatment, teeth naturally attempt to shift back toward their original positions over time.
Retainers are designed to help maintain tooth alignment and protect the results achieved through braces or Invisalign treatment.
Consistent retainer wear is important for long-term stability.
At SmileBright Dental, appliance treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment of the teeth, gums, jaw joints, bite, and oral health.
Digital scanning technology allows many appliances to be designed with improved precision and patient comfort while avoiding traditional impressions in many cases.
Our team takes time to explain all options clearly and ensure patients feel informed, comfortable, and supported throughout the process.
Custom mouthguards provide significantly better fit and protection compared to many over-the-counter options.
