Face-bow Mounting Study Models
 |
Face-bow mounting allows Dr. Gordon to duplicate and visualize the fundamental functions of your bite. An occlusal analysis will be performed and then appropriate treatment can be determined. |
Aqualizer/Temporary Relief
 |
Aqualizer is new and ground-breaking liquid system that helps attain perfect balance in a patient’s bite. It works by loosening the muscles in the face, allowing the jaw to reestablish without the constraint from clenching and grinding. Patients are often given the Aqualizer treatment for temporary relief of TMJ issues, or to establish new bite positions prior to full mouth occlusal treatments.

Splint Therapy
 |
After Dr. Gordon determines there is a need to investigate TMJ integrity with you, a custom-designed splint can do wonders to reduce aches/pains as well as assist in determining diagnostic factors implicated by your bite. Dr. Gordon will then discern any personal findings and offer long-term treatment options that may be beneficial to you. |
Athletic Guards
 |
The value of having an athletic mouth guard cannot be overstated! Wearing a mouth guard protects your teeth, mouth, jaw, and gums from harm due to falls or impacts. With 10% of all dental injuries sports related, obtaining a mouth guard gives you peace of mind, enabling athletic performance to your full abilities. Protect yourself from having to spend the time and money to redo previous dental work. |
Snore Guards
 |
In the back of your throat, you have a soft, floppy palate that becomes relaxed when sleeping. Thus, your airway becomes narrower, and your lower jaw and tongue drop back, causing your palate to vibrate like a flag in the wind with each breath. in the result is the obnoxious sound we call snoring. Luckily, snore guards have been invented: a small oral appliance, professionally fitted by the dentist. Guards fit snuggly over the top of your teeth, with a unique inner lining that is softened by heat during the fitting process. Guards only need to be worn at night. Guards eliminate snoring by preventing the jaw and tongue from dropping back into the throat, closing off the air passage. Your open airway will result in a soundless, peaceful sleep! |
