Sports mouth guards are an essential protective gear we offer at our office, specifically designed for athletes and active individuals. These custom-fitted devices play a crucial role in safeguarding your teeth, gums and jaw from injuries during physical activities. Whether you engage in contact sports like football and hockey or non-contact sports that still pose a risk of dental injury, wearing a sports mouth guard can significantly reduce the chance of traumatic dental events.
Understanding Sports Mouth Guards
Sports mouth guards are made from a flexible, resilient material, molded to fit the unique contours of your mouth. Unlike one-size-fits-all or boil-and-bite guards available in stores, our custom mouth guards offer superior comfort, protection and stability. They are designed to absorb and distribute the impact force, minimizing the risk of broken teeth, lacerations to the mouth and even concussions.
The Sports Mouth Guard Fitting Process
- Personal Consultation: Discuss your sports activity and dental history to determine the best mouth guard type for your needs.
- Precision Impressions: We take accurate impressions of your teeth to ensure the mouth guard fits perfectly.
- Custom Fabrication: Your mouth guard is crafted using high-quality materials to provide optimal protection and comfort.
- Fitting and Adjustment: When your mouth guard is ready, our dentists will ensure it fits properly, making any necessary adjustments for a perfect fit.
