What exactly is a professional mouth guard?
For your smile and your health, a professional mouth guard is non-negotiable for athletes and those competing or playing in contact sports.
When it comes to sports, protecting your smile is just as important as your performance. A custom-made mouth guard helps protect your teeth, lips, cheeks, and tongue—and can even reduce the risk of concussions and jaw fractures.
Prized for its flexibility, durability, and shock-absorbing properties, a professionally fabricated mouth guard is designed to fit comfortably over your upper teeth, providing superior protection and comfort compared to store-bought options. A mouth guard should be worn whenever there’s a risk of falls or contact with other players or equipment. Sports such as football, hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer, gymnastics, and skateboarding all carry a risk of mouth injuries. Even in non-contact sports, a mouth guard can prevent serious dental trauma.
Who are professional mouth guards for?
Professional mouthguards are ideal for children, teens, and adults who want reliable protection for their teeth and mouth during sports or physical activity.
For growing children and teens, mouthguards should be replaced each season, as their teeth and jaws continue to develop. Adults typically replace theirs every two to three years, or sooner after dental work such as fillings or extractions that change the shape of their teeth.A custom-fitted athletic mouthguard helps protect the teeth, lips, cheeks, and tongue, while also reducing the impact of blows to the face or jaw that could otherwise lead to dental injuries or concussions. They can also be used at night for patients who cannot tolerate a traditional night guard, offering a more comfortable option for mild clenching or grinding.
