Protect Your Smile With a Custom Fit
A mouthguard is a protective device worn over your teeth to reduce the risk of injury. Whether your goal is to stay safe during sports, prevent nighttime teeth grinding, or protect your smile during treatment, a custom mouthguard can make all the difference. Unlike store-bought versions, custom mouthguards are made by dental professionals to fit your mouth precisely, offering better comfort, protection, and durability.
Why Mouthguards Matter
Mouthguards are essential for anyone involved in sports like football, basketball, soccer, or hockey where impacts are common. They help prevent chipped teeth, fractures, and cuts to the lips and gums.
Many people also need mouthguards for nighttime grinding, known as bruxism. Without protection, grinding can lead to worn-down teeth, fractures, jaw discomfort, and headaches. Mouthguards may also be recommended during orthodontic treatment to protect braces and soft tissues from injury.
Types of Mouthguards
There are three main types of mouthguards, each offering different levels of protection:
Custom Mouthguards
Professionally made to fit your smile. These offer the highest level of comfort, protection, and durability.
Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards
Softened in hot water and molded at home. They fit better than stock options but still fall short of a professional custom fit.
Stock Mouthguards
Pre-shaped and ready to wear. They tend to be bulky, uncomfortable, and offer the least protection.
Benefits of Custom Mouthguards
Choosing a custom mouthguard ensures:
- Precise fit: Designed to match the shape of your teeth for maximum comfort
- Superior protection: Better impact absorption to protect teeth, gums, and jaw
- Greater durability: Made from high-quality materials that last longer
- Improved breathing: Streamlined design allows easier airflow during activity
