Functional Therapy

We know your mouth is more than just a pretty smile – it is a complex system of muscle, bone, and joints that must synchronize flawlessly to prevent debilitating problems. Our functional therapies effectively manage problems, such as teeth grinding and snoring, which significantly impact quality of life. You can finally get relief from antagonistic symptoms with comfortable bite appliances, custom-made to fit perfectly. When your bite is out of balance, Dr. Byars can help with non-surgical relief.

Our functional therapy options include:

Bruxism Appliances - Bruxism, or teeth grinding, exerts ongoing stress on your teeth, causing uneven wear, stress cracks, and painful chips. Worst of all, many patients grind their teeth in their sleep, so they aren’t even aware of their destructive actions. Protect your teeth from further damage with a custom-fit bite appliance to comfortably keep you from gnashing or grinding teeth during the night.
Snoreguards - Worse than an annoying habit, snoring and sleep apnea cause physical and mental distress; from forgetfulness to hypertension, snoring can greatly diminish health and wellness. Dr. Byars can help with custom-crafted snoreguards. These easy-to-wear bite appliances correct your relaxed bite position so that your soft tissue does not collapse during sleep. If you snore (and your sleep partner will surely tell you if you do!), put it to rest with our effective snoreguards!
