At Pan-Am Dental Lab, we understand that dentists rely on precision and reliability when prescribing sleep and orthodontic appliances for their patients. Our lab specializes in fabricating custom appliances such as mandibular advancement devices for obstructive sleep apnea and bruxism splints for nighttime grinding, as well as orthodontic retainers and aligners designed to improve comfort and compliance. Using advanced digital workflows and high-quality materials, we ensure that every appliance offers an accurate fit, long-term durability, and patient-friendly design. By partnering with Pan-Am Dental Lab, dentists can provide their patients with effective, custom-made solutions that promote better sleep, protect oral health, and support successful orthodontic outcomes.
Soft nightguards are a popular choice for patients who suffer from mild bruxism (teeth grinding) or clenching, particularly those new to wearing oral appliances. Fabricated from flexible thermoplastic materials, these guards are designed to provide a cushioned, comfortable fit that patients find easier to adapt to compared to harder alternatives.
By offering soft nightguards through Pan-Am Dental Lab, dentists can give their patients an approachable, comfortable solution that encourages consistent use while protecting their oral health.
Hard nightguards are crafted from rigid acrylic or other high-strength materials, making them the most durable option for patients with significant grinding or clenching habits. These guards provide a stable occlusal surface, ensuring long-lasting protection for both natural dentition and dental restorations. While less flexible than soft alternatives, hard nightguards are precision-made to deliver an accurate fit and reliable performance over time.
By choosing hard nightguards from Pan-Am Dental Lab, dentists can provide patients with a durable, precision-fit solution that delivers maximum protection and long-term peace of mind.
Hard/soft combination nightguards, also known as dual-laminate nightguards, are designed to provide patients with both comfort and strength. These appliances feature a soft inner layer that cushions the teeth and enhances comfort, paired with a hard outer shell that resists wear and protects against heavy grinding forces. This dual-layer design makes them an excellent middle ground for patients who need more durability than a soft guard offers but prefer greater comfort than a fully hard guard provides.
By offering hard/soft combination nightguards through Pan-Am Dental Lab, dentists can meet the needs of patients who want both comfort and strength in a single appliance, ensuring compliance while protecting smiles from long-term damage.
Thermoplastic nightguards are made from heat-sensitive materials that become pliable when warmed, allowing for a highly customized fit directly in the patient’s mouth. These guards are lightweight, thin, and adaptable, making them an appealing option for patients who struggle with bulkier appliances. Because of their ease of adjustment and comfort, thermoplastic nightguards can be a practical short-term or transitional solution for managing bruxism and protecting teeth.
With Pan-Am Dental Lab’s expertise, dentists can count on thermoplastic nightguards as a comfortable, affordable, and adaptable solution that helps patients ease into nightguard therapy while protecting their teeth and restorations.
The soft night guard may be prescribed for mild cases of night grinding or bruxism.
There are patients who do not suffer from the unfortunate habit on a nightly basis.
There are also patients whose degree of grinding is not so significant. For these
patients, a soft protection is enough to solve the problem and preserve teeth structure.
The soft night guard is also well suited for people who suffer from teeth clenching rather
than teeth grinding. The soft material cushions some of the clenching force.
The hard night guard is much more durable. It’s made from acrylic, a clear, hard plastic
material. The hard night guard is suitable for people who suffer from heavy to severe
teeth grinding.
The Hard / Soft Combination Mouthguard is designed to alleviate the pain and damage
caused by bruxing or clenching of the teeth. It is the most widely prescribed nightguard
available due to its comfort and fit.
The most comfortable of the acrylic splints, the Thermoplastic Night Guard is easy to
seat and kind to cosmetic restorations. Ideal for cases with missing teeth or unusual
draw. This all thermoflexible acrylic becomes pliable in hot water, but remains firm and
rigid at mouth temperature. It is also MMA free and is, therefore, non-allergenic. The
wearability, comfort, and fit are second to none.
The NTI (Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition) device is a specialized nightguard designed to minimize clenching and grinding by preventing posterior tooth contact. Unlike traditional full-arch nightguards, NTI devices cover only the anterior teeth, reducing muscle activity in the jaw and alleviating strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). For patients who suffer from tension headaches, migraines, or TMJ-related discomfort, the NTI offers a focused, effective treatment option.
By offering NTI devices through Pan-Am Dental Lab, dentists can provide patients with a highly targeted solution that reduces parafunctional forces, alleviates discomfort, and improves quality of life for those suffering from bruxism and TMJ-related conditions.
The EMA (Elastic Mandibular Advancement) device is a custom-fabricated oral appliance designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and primary snoring by gently repositioning the mandible forward. This forward movement helps keep the airway open during sleep, reducing collapses of the soft tissues in the throat. The EMA uses interchangeable elastic straps to control the degree of mandibular advancement, making it a highly adjustable and patient-friendly solution.
By incorporating EMA devices into your treatment options through Pan-Am Dental Lab, dentists can offer patients a reliable, adjustable, and comfortable solution to manage sleep-disordered breathing and significantly improve overall quality of life.
Dorsal appliances are a popular mandibular advancement device designed to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring. This two-piece appliance uses dorsal fin–like extensions on the lower arch that interlock with the upper component, guiding the mandible into a forward position. By maintaining this advancement throughout the night, the appliance helps prevent airway collapse and promotes uninterrupted breathing. Its durable construction and comfortable fit make it a long-term solution for many patients.
By partnering with Pan-Am Dental Lab for dorsal appliances, dentists can provide patients with a proven, patient-friendly therapy option that supports restful sleep and better overall health.
The NTI device is an anterior bite stop, indicated for the prevention and treatment of bruxism, temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), tension-type headaches, and migraine. Because NTI helps reduce your clenching, it helps maximize your comfort and should minimize your need for medications.
This oral appliance is a customized removable appliance created for the noninvasive treatment of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The appliance is designed to both advance the mandible and open the bite to allow for less restricted airflow during sleep.
Originally designed as a nighttime TMD splint, the Dorsal Appliance has evolved into one of the most popular choices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The two piece construction allows for patient comfort and lateral jaw movement. This appliance can be fabricated in a variety of materials including acrylic, dual laminate or thermal splint material.
Hawley retainers remain one of the most trusted and widely prescribed appliances for post-orthodontic retention. Constructed from an acrylic base that rests against the palate (or lingual surfaces in the lower arch) and a labial wire that secures the anterior teeth, these retainers are both durable and adjustable. Their design allows orthodontists and dentists to make minor modifications as needed, ensuring long-term effectiveness in maintaining alignment after active treatment.
With Pan-Am Dental Lab’s precision craftsmanship, dentists can confidently prescribe Hawley retainers that combine durability, adjustability, and patient comfort to protect orthodontic outcomes for years to come.
Essix retainers are clear, removable appliances made from thin, transparent thermoplastic material that fits snugly over the teeth. Their nearly invisible design makes them a highly popular choice among patients who want to maintain their orthodontic results without the appearance of traditional wire-based retainers. Lightweight and comfortable, Essix retainers are simple to wear and easy to replace when needed, making them a versatile retention option.
With Pan-Am Dental Lab’s expertise, dentists can provide Essix retainers that combine aesthetics, comfort, and affordability to give patients a seamless way to protect their orthodontic investment.
A lower lingual arch (LLA) is a fixed orthodontic appliance commonly used in pediatric and adolescent dentistry to preserve arch length and prevent unwanted tooth movement. It consists of a wire that connects to bands cemented on the lower molars and runs along the inside (lingual side) of the lower teeth. By holding the molars in place, the LLA ensures proper spacing for the eruption of permanent teeth and helps maintain overall arch stability.
With Pan-Am Dental Lab’s precision craftsmanship, dentists can rely on lower lingual arch appliances that deliver long-term stability, guiding proper dental development and supporting successful orthodontic outcomes.
The band and loop appliance is one of the most widely used fixed space maintainers in pediatric dentistry. It consists of a stainless steel band cemented to an adjacent tooth, with a wire loop extending across the space of a prematurely lost primary tooth. This design preserves the necessary space for the proper eruption of the permanent successor while preventing adjacent teeth from drifting. Its straightforward construction makes it an efficient, cost-effective solution for maintaining arch integrity.
With Pan-Am Dental Lab’s precision fabrication, dentists can trust that band and loop appliances will provide a dependable, comfortable, and durable solution for maintaining proper spacing and guiding healthy dental development.
The Nance appliance is a fixed orthodontic device designed to maintain upper arch length and prevent molar movement. It consists of stainless steel bands fitted to the maxillary molars, connected by a wire with an acrylic button that rests on the anterior palate. This palatal button provides anchorage, helping stabilize the appliance and prevent forward molar drift, which is especially important during the mixed dentition stage.
With Pan-Am Dental Lab’s expertise, dentists can depend on Nance appliances that are precisely fabricated for comfort, stability, and long-term space maintenance, ensuring successful orthodontic development in young patients.
Originally designed as a nighttime TMD splint, the Dorsal Appliance has evolved into one of the most popular choices for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea. The two piece construction allows for patient comfort and lateral jaw movement. This appliance can be fabricated in a variety of materials including acrylic, dual laminate or thermal splint material.
