The Importance of Custom-Fit Sports Mouthguards
A custom sports mouthguard is designed to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw during sports and other high-impact activities. It helps reduce the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth while also providing additional cushioning that may lessen the impact of blows to the face and jaw.
Although over-the-counter mouthguards are widely available, a professionally made custom mouthguard offers a significantly better fit. Your dentist takes precise impressions of your teeth to create a mouthguard that fits comfortably and securely, typically for your upper teeth.
A properly fitted mouthguard stays in place during activity, allows you to breathe and speak more comfortably, and provides superior protection compared to one-size-fits-all alternatives that may shift or become uncomfortable.
Why Choose a Custom Mouthguard from Your Dentist?
A professionally made mouthguard is an investment in your long-term oral health. Whether you participate in contact sports or need protection against nighttime teeth grinding, a custom appliance offers greater comfort, durability, and effectiveness than store-bought options.
- Precisely crafted from accurate dental impressions for a secure, comfortable fit.
- Can be customized for patients who grind or clench their teeth.
- Easily adjusted by your dentist to maximize comfort and protection.
- Slimmer, more durable, and more comfortable than many over-the-counter mouthguards.
- Ideal for athletes and anyone seeking reliable protection against dental injuries.
Custom mouthguards are recommended for children, teens, and adults who participate in contact or recreational sports, as well as for patients who experience bruxism or nighttime teeth grinding.
