Custom-Made Mouthguards

All sports involve some level of risk. However, losing your teeth shouldn’t be one of them if you use a custom-made mouthguard. In sports, accidents are bound to happen. That’s why custom-made mouthguards are highly recommended as they offer the best protection for your mouth and teeth during sports activities. With a reduction in oral injuries by about 90%, these mouthguards help prevent painful accidents and damage.

Off-the-shelf mouthguards are not as effective as custom-made ones that fit your mouth properly. Custom-made mouthguards provide superior protection for your teeth and jaw against direct impact, reducing the risk of injury while playing sports.

What is it?

Custom-made mouthguards are designed to safeguard your teeth and prevent injuries during sports activities. In fact, sports-related injuries are the primary cause of tooth damage. With a custom-made mouthguard, you can ensure that you and your teeth are adequately protected every time you play.

A well-fitted mouthguard is crucial for providing optimal protection. It should be appropriately thick in the right areas, durable, and comfortable to wear. Moreover, it shouldn’t affect your ability to speak or breathe comfortably. We can fit you with a custom-made mouthguard that meets all these requirements and offers superior protection for your teeth while playing sports.
