Appliances

Nakanishi offers valuable appliances that can help increase patient satisfaction. We provide Essix retainers, flippers, bleach trays, sports guards, and nightguards that can maintain your patient's smile and safeguard their confidence.

Essix Retainers

Our team fabricates our Essix Retainers out of high-quality, translucent plastic. If your patient has received orthodontic treatment, these retainers are a stabilization appliance to maintain their straight smile. They are also a temporary restoration for tooth replacement after implant surgery. The Essix Retainers are tissue-borne, which help prevent irritation around the surgical site. Teeth may shift over time, and with Essix Retainers from Nakanishi, you can ensure your patient's investment is long-lasting.

Transitional Treatment Partial (Flipper)

The flippers that are available from our lab team are crafted out of high-quality denture acrylic. These transitional treatment partials are ideal for patients who have lost one to multiple teeth. There are numerous benefits that come with flippers. Flippers are esthetically pleasing and functional on a limited basis. They are typically used on an interim basis while surgery or implants are healing. Flippers make it easier to eat, are conveniently removable, and prevent surrounding dentition from shifting.

Bleach Trays

If your patient is interested in whitening their teeth, Nakanishi offers custom-made mouth trays for bleaching treatments. These patient-specific trays are crafted to be worn for an extended period of time and increase the comfort of your patient for a more effective procedure.

Sports Guards

Sports Guards are an excellent solution for both professional and amateur athletes to protect their teeth whether on the field, rink, or in the ring. Expertly created, they offer the highest level of protection possible during athletics. Sports Guards can prevent dental trauma, including fractured teeth due to their occlusal thickness.

ProForm®

The ProForm® laminate was originally developed by a dentist to provide superior intra-oral protection for NHL hockey and NFL football players. According to the Journal of the American Dental Association, over five million teeth are lost annually in sports-related injuries. The unique two-layered construction provides retention, protection and comfort beyond other materials.
Colors available: Clear, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Red-White-Blue combo, White

Nightguards

Nakanishi's team understands the importance of protecting your patient's dentition and restorations. We provide several nightguard options that will aid in eliminating the negative outcomes of nighttime bruxism. We offer Ivocap®, Talon®, Impak, and Gelb nightguards. These nightguards vary in hardness and comfort, so you can find a guard that will perfectly suit your patient's level of bruxism. All of our nightguards are completely BPA free. Each nightguard is sent out with patient care instructions for nightguard maintenance.

Please send us upper and lower digital or traditional impressions, or the models and a bite.
