Customized Mouthguards

Your smile is worth protecting. Store-bought mouthguards will reduce your risk of injury, but a custom mouthguard offers the best protection for your teeth. Boil-and-bite mouthguards tend to be bulky. This can make them uncomfortable to wear, and it can interfere with breathing, speaking, and staying hydrated.

Your custom-fitted mouthguard is made from a mold of your teeth. So it’s smaller and more comfortable to wear while on the field or trying to fall asleep. You also won’t have to take it out to talk to your teammates or get a drink of water.

Sports Guards

Athletes who don’t wear mouthguards are 60 times more likely to have dental injuries than athletes who do wear some kind of teeth protection, according to the American Dental Association. You should wear a mouthguard for any high-impact sports. This includes any sport that involves physical contact, a flying object, running, jumping, or frequent changes in direction.

Night Guards

Clenching and grinding your teeth in your sleep takes a toll on your smile. It can wear down your enamel, cause breaks, and increase your risk of gum disease. You can spare yourself the pain and the expense to repair your teeth by getting a night guard to wear. It will act as a barrier to stop you from clenching and grinding.

Common Questions About Mouthguards

How are mouthguards made?

It depends on where they are made. If you purchase a mouthguard from the store, you’re buying a mass-produced device that won’t fit properly, likely crafted using low-quality, inexpensive plastic. When you let a dentist design your mouthguard, it will be created using the most durable material based on precise measurements of your teeth. This ensures a snug but comfortable fit and maximum protection.

How does a mouthguard help with snoring?

Snoring is caused by air passing across the soft tissues in the back of the throat during sleep. A sleep apnea appliance works by moving the lower jaw forward slightly to move those tissues away from the air passages. This not only helps keep the airway open to prevent sleep apnea episodes, but it will also reduce or entirely eliminate snoring.

Can mouthguards help with TMJ problems?

Yes, mouthguards from an experienced dentist are designed to fit over your teeth so that as you sleep, your jaw stays in a forward position to properly realign the joint. This also prevents you from clenching down and putting excess pressure on your TMJ during the night.

How do I clean my mouthguard?

To clean your mouthguard, first, rinse it thoroughly with water to remove any debris or bacteria. Then, gently clean the mouthguard with a soft-bristled toothbrush and mild soap or toothpaste. Rinse the mouthguard again with water and dry it thoroughly before storing it in a case. Avoid using hot water or leaving the mouthguard in direct sunlight, as it can warp the material.
