Athletic Mouth Guards

Why Use Athletic Mouth Guards?

Importance of Mouth Guards in Sports

Engaging in sports comes with its share of potential risks, especially for those participating in contact sports like football, hockey, basketball, and martial arts, as well as non-contact sports that may involve falls or body contact, like skateboarding or gymnastics.

Mouthguard is an essential accessory to safeguard against oral injuries as they helps cushion blows and impacts that could otherwise cause broken teeth, injuries to the lips and face, or even more severe accidents like jaw fractures and concussions. 

Types of Mouth Guards

  • Stock Mouth Guards: Pre-formed and ready to wear, but often don’t fit well and can be bulky.
  • Boil and Bite Mouth Guards: Made from thermoplastic material that softens when boiled and is then bitten into to form a fit.
  • Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards: Tailored to fit precisely by a dental professional, offering the best protection and comfort.

Benefits of Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards

Superior Fit and Comfort

  • Custom-fitted mouth guards are made from molds of your teeth, ensuring a perfect fit that won’t slip or cause discomfort, allowing you to speak and breathe easily during activities.

Enhanced Protection

  • Because they’re specifically crafted to fit your mouth, custom mouth guards provide optimal protection by evenly distributing the force of an impact, which significantly reduces the risk of sports-related dental injuries.

Longevity and Durability

  • Custom mouth guards are constructed from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of intense sports and can be used for an extended period before needing replacement.

Our Custom Mouth Guard Process

  • Consultation and Fitting

    Your visit begins with a detailed consultation where we discuss your specific needs and the type of sports you participate in. We then take precise impressions of your teeth to ensure the mouth guard fits perfectly.

    Manufacturing

    The impressions are sent to a specialized lab where your mouth guard is made using durable, safe materials tailored to your exact specifications.

    Final Fitting and Adjustments

    Once your mouth guard is ready, we’ll have you come in for a final fitting. We make any necessary adjustments to ensure your mouth guard is comfortable and provides maximum protection.

Care and Maintenance of Mouth Guards

  • To prolong the life of your mouth guard and maintain its protective properties, it’s important to:

    •Rinse it with water or mouthwash after each use.

    •Regularly clean it with cool, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.

    •Store it in a sturdy, ventilated container when not in use.

    •Avoid leaving it in hot environments, like a car dashboard, as heat can warp the material.
