Sports mouth guards are essential for protecting your teeth, gums, and jaw during physical activities or sports. Designed to cushion impact and prevent injuries, these custom-fitted devices are a must-have for athletes of all ages and skill levels.

What Are Sports Mouth Guards?

Sports mouth guards are custom-made dental devices that fit snugly over your teeth, providing a barrier against impacts that can cause dental injuries, such as broken teeth, cuts to the lips, or jaw fractures.

The Process:

1. Consultation and Evaluation: We’ll assess your needs and discuss the type of sports or activities you participate in.

2. Impressions: A digital scan or physical mold of your teeth is taken to create a custom-fit mouth guard for maximum comfort and protection.

3. Custom Fabrication: The mouth guard is crafted from durable, high-quality materials, designed to withstand impact and ensure a secure fit.

4. Fitting Appointment: We’ll confirm the fit and comfort of the mouth guard, making adjustments if necessary.

5. Usage and Care Instructions: We’ll guided you on how to wear, clean, and store your sports mouth guard to keep it in top condition.

Indications:

• Contact sports such as football, hockey, or boxing

• Activities with a risk of falls or impacts, like gymnastics or skateboarding

• Protecting teeth and dental restorations during physical activity

Contraindications:

• Severe dental misalignment that may require orthodontic intervention before using a mouth guard

• Activities unrelated to physical contact or low-risk sports

The Problem Sports Mouth Guards Solve:

Sports mouth guards reduce the risk of dental trauma, such as chipped or knocked-out teeth, and prevent injuries to soft tissues like the lips and tongue. They also help cushion the jaw, reducing the risk of concussions or fractures.

• Suitable for athletes of all ages
