RPE Tongue Guard: Prevents and Helps Heal Tongue Sores Caused by Dental Expanders
Brand: Tongue Guard
Brand: Tongue Guard
Features:
- Tongue Protection: The primary function of the Tongue Guard is to provide a soft and protective barrier between the patient's tongue and the metal RPE. This prevents the development of painful tongue sores and cuts caused by friction with the expander.
- Custom Forming: The Tongue Guard includes custom forming trays, allowing patients to create a personalized and comfortable fit that matches the contours of their mouths. This ensures a snug and effective barrier while maintaining patient comfort.
- Early Prevention: When used immediately after the RPE is placed, the Tongue Guard serves as a proactive solution to prevent tongue sores from occurring in the first place. It addresses the issue right from the start of treatment, improving the overall orthodontic experience.
- Pain Relief: For patients who already have tongue sores due to the metal RPE, the Tongue Guard provides relief by reducing contact between the sore areas and the expander. It can help alleviate pain and discomfort, promoting a smoother recovery process.
- Comprehensive Package: The Tongue Guard comes as a complete package, including custom forming trays, a dental case for safe storage when not in use, and informative packaging. The inclusion of a QR code for video instructions ensures that patients can easily understand how to use and benefit from the product effectively.

Part Number: Trainer
Details: Dental expanders and other dental appliances can cause significant discomfort and often lacerations to the tongue. The metal used to make these dental appliances can also cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. My son had such an extreme reaction to his expander that I had to do something to help him and so, Tongue Guard was born. Tongue Guard is a custom-fit, soft tray that conforms to your mouth for a comfortable and reliable fit. It creates a smooth hypo-allergenic barrier between the dental appliance and your tongue. It works best when used as soon as your dental appliance is placed, as a preventative measure. This will keep your tongue from becoming sore, cut, and/or possibly infected. However, if you are already experiencing adverse effects from a dental appliance, Tongue Guard can provide immediate relief and speed healing. You can wear it as often and for as long as needed and it is recommended you wear it at night, as your tongue relaxes against the dental appliance as you sleep which can cause great discomfort upon waking.
