Full-Service Orthodontic Laboratory

Our full orthodontic hardware lineup includes removable and fixed appliances for patients of all ages. Many of the removable options can be personalized, allowing patients to express their unique personalities. We offer a wide variety of colours, glitters and designs.

The fit and function of lab-fabricated and dentist-delivered sports guards cannot be matched with over-the-counter alternatives. We offer solutions that address the needs of athletes looking for the best protection available with a higher level of comfort, whether engaged in extreme-impact sports or less hazardous forms of physical activity. Additionally, the turnaround on these cases will meet the accelerated timelines that athletes and parents often expect.

Our night guard and bruxism appliances are designed to simultaneously meet your patient’s preferences and the needs of the treatment. Whether a ‘workhorse’ hard acrylic night guard is indicated or a soft appliance that offers exceptional comfort is required, Watersedge has the answer. We also offer a perfect marriage of both worlds in the form of a hard/soft night guard. Whatever the preferred material, design or functional scheme, the exceptionally skilled staff at Watersedge fabricates custom-fit, durable appliances your clients will love.

Watersedge Dental Laboratory can reproduce an appliance or night guard that was fabricated at another lab. And in some cases, we may be able to integrate reinforcements into a replica. But, unfortunately, we cannot fix cracked or fully broken appliances.

We produce a number of sleep appliances, including dorsal fin appliances, elastic mandibular advancement (EMA) appliances, 3D printed mandibular advancement devices and fixed snoring appliances, that address disorders such as snoring, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), nighttime bruxism, temporomandibular disorder (TMD), or a combination of symptoms.

Watersedge is licensed to produce many patent-protected devices. If we cannot produce a specific appliance for you, we will personally reach out to the manufacturer on your behalf.
