Custom Mouthguards

Protecting teeth from impact and injury: A custom mouthguard can save a smile!

Did you know roughly one million teeth are knocked out in sports-related injuries each year? No one wants to get injured while playing sports, but it happens. Professional and amateur athletes protect their bodies with pads, helmets, and mouthguards. In fact, mouthguards are considered essential protective equipment for most sports. Next time you watch your favorite sport on TV, count how many players have a mouthguard.

Like professional athletes, children and adults who play contact sports or participate in activities with a potential for falling or head injury can avoid painful and costly dental damage with a custom-fit, professionally made athletic mouthguard.

Why Choose a Custom Athletic Mouthguard

Sporting goods stores, pharmacies, and online stores sell generic athletic mouthguards to protect children’s and adults’ teeth. These devices may be inexpensive but can be difficult to use properly and may not be sufficiently effective. For an over-the-counter mouthguard to work, you have to boil it and then bite into the softened plastic to make an impression of your teeth. This process is supposed to “customize” the mouthguard to your dentition, but it may not work well on the first try, leaving you with something that does not fit right. The boiling water can also cause burns. Additionally, it can be difficult to assess the quality of an over-the-counter mouthguard or its ability to protect teeth from injury.
