DOG GOT YOUR RETAINER? The FASTEST Way to Replace Oral Appliances

r

What’s a dog’s favorite chew toy?

As sweet as this might be, discovering your retainer or night guard has been turned into a mangled mess can really ruin your day. If you struggle with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues, the idea of not having your night guard can be legitimately painful. Teeth can shift out of place really quickly without a retainer holding them in place. Historically, even if you get to your dentist’s office the same day that you lost your oral appliance, it can still take several weeks for the lab to make your new appliance. That’s why we’re so excited to have a new 3D printer at the office! Having a 3D printer at Exceptional Smiles at Landerbrook means that we can create custom oral appliances in our office. The team you know and trust has control over the whole process. If the

new appliance doesn’t fit quite right, we can make adjustments right away. No shipping issues and no waiting on long turnaround times from the lab. Our patients have their new oral appliances in a matter of hours, not weeks. The acrylic used to make the new appliances are just as durable as the material used in the lab. If you’re worried about your dog getting ahold of your appliance, make sure to store it in a drawer they can’t open. If you need to replace your oral appliance for any reason, just give us a call at (440) 483-1003. We can use your current dental health scan and have your new oral appliance ready for you before you arrive to pick it up. No messy impressions or long waits. Get in, get out, and go about your day!

Squeaky plush toys Your oral appliance

If you’re a dog owner who has ever had to tell your dentist about the harrowing fate of a retainer or night guard, the answer can sure feel like B. Dogs can have all the chew toys in the world, but if they have the chance, they’ll happily chow down on an oral appliance every time. If this has ever happened to you, know that you can take it as a compliment. Most dogs want to chew on oral appliances because they smell like you. Since your dog trusts you, in their minds, anything that smells like you must be safe.
