What are Mouthguards and Why Do You Need One?
Mouthguards are essential protective devices worn over the teeth to absorb the impact of blows to the face, mouth, and jaw. They act as a crucial shield, significantly reducing the risk of:
Chipped or Fractured Teeth
The impact of a stray elbow or a hard check can easily lead to chipped or even knocked-out teeth.
Lip and Tongue Lacerations
High-impact collisions can cause cuts and injuries to the soft tissues within your mouth.
Jaw Fractures
In severe cases, forceful impacts can result in jaw fractures, requiring significant treatment and recovery time.
Types of Mouthguards
- Stock Mouthguards: These are pre-made and come in a variety of sizes. While readily available, they offer limited protection and may not provide a comfortable fit for all individuals.
- Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards: These mouthguards are softened in hot water and then molded to the shape of your teeth. While more comfortable than stock mouthguards, their fit and level of protection can vary significantly.
- Custom-Fitted Mouthguards: Created specifically for you by our skilled dentists, custom-fitted mouthguards offer unparalleled protection and comfort. They are crafted from an accurate impression of your teeth, ensuring a snug and secure fit that minimizes discomfort and maximizes protection.
