REMOVAL DEVICES

Protect and Perfect Your Smile with Our Top-Notch Removal Devices!

At Shackleton Dental, we believe that great smiles deserve great protection and care. Whether you’re looking to safeguard your teeth during sports or keep that perfect alignment post-braces, our removal devices are here to help.

What Are Removal Devices?

Mouth guards: These are designed to protect your teeth during high-impact activities like sports. They cushion your teeth and gums from injuries, so you can play hard without worrying about dental damage. Plus, they’re custom-made for comfort, so you won’t even notice you’re wearing one!

Retainers: The finishing touch to your orthodontic journey! After braces or Invisalign, retainers help maintain your teeth’s new positions. They keep your smile straight and beautiful while you show off your new grin with pride.

What is our Process?

  1. Consultation & Customisation:
    It all starts with a consultation where we’ll discuss your needs—whether you need a mouthguard for your weekend soccer matches or a retainer to keep your teeth perfectly aligned. We’ll take precise impressions of your teeth to ensure a perfect fit for your device.
  2. Crafting Your Device:
    Once we have your impressions, we’ll custom-make your mouthguard or retainer to fit your teeth like a glove. This ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness. For mouthguards, we’ll use durable materials to withstand those intense game moments. For retainers, we’ll make sure they fit correctly to keep your teeth in their new places.
  3. Fitting & Adjustment:
    When your device is ready, we’ll have you in for a fitting appointment. We’ll check that everything fits perfectly and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you’re comfortable and ready to go.
  4. Care Instructions:
    We’ll provide you with all the tips you need to care for your device. Whether it’s keeping your mouthguard clean or wearing your retainer as instructed, we’ll make sure you’re set up for success.

Who Are Removal Devices For?

  • Mouthguards: Ideal for athletes, whether you’re hitting the football field or the hockey rink. If you play sports or have a high-risk job where your teeth could be in harm’s way, a custom mouthguard is a must-have.
  • Retainers: Perfect for anyone who’s finished with braces or Invisalign and wants to keep their teeth from shifting. If you’ve worked hard for that straight smile, a retainer will help you keep it for the long haul.

FAQs

How do I know which device I need?

We’ll help you decide! During your consultation, we’ll discuss your lifestyle and dental needs to determine whether a mouthguard, retainer, or both are right for you.

Are mouthguards uncomfortable?

Not at all! Our custom-made mouthguards are designed for comfort. You might feel a bit of pressure at first, but they’re made to fit snugly and comfortably in your mouth.

How long should I wear my retainer?

This depends on your individual treatment plan. Generally, you’ll wear your retainer as directed—often full-time for a few months, then part-time for maintenance. We’ll provide detailed instructions based on your needs.

Can I eat with my mouthguard or retainer in?

For mouthguards, it’s best to remove them before eating to avoid damage. For retainers, you should also take them out during meals. Just remember to clean your device after eating!

How do I clean my mouthguard or retainer?

It’s simple! For mouthguards, rinse with water and clean with a toothbrush. For retainers, use a mild soap and a toothbrush. Avoid using hot water, which can warp the material.
