Sports Mouth Guards

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.


Pros:


  • Protects teeth, gums, and jaw from injury

  • Custom fit ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness

  • Suitable for athletes of all ages

  • Durable and designed to withstand high impact


Cons:


  • Requires periodic replacement, especially for growing children

  • Must be worn consistently during activities to provide protection

  • Needs proper cleaning and storage to maintain hygiene
