Playing a sport can be fun, however can also be detrimental to your teeth. With the high risk of making your teeth loose, breaking them, or cutting your lip while playing a contact sport, it is advisable to wear a mouth guard for safety.

Store-bought mouthguards are not supportive enough to protect your jawbone holding the teeth as they are loosely fitted. Boil and bite mouth guards are economical, but wear down after multiple uses, becoming much thinner and less protective after being worn. A custom-made mouthguard is the best option that you can get for your teeth, as it is precisely fitted to your teeth to ensure that they are protected, but comfortable at the same time. Custom-made mouthguards are secure and protective and don’t interfere with breathing or talking either. Purchasing a custom-made one is worthwhile, as costs of repairs of teeth or replacing store-bought mouthguards frequently after it is damaged can be higher.

Come in for a consultation to discuss your options.
