Who Needs a Mouth Guard?

Mouth guards provide essential protection for those involved in activities prone to dental or facial injuries. Whether it’s football, basketball, or hockey, a mouth guard cushions against impact. But it’s not just for contact sports. Custom-made guards can also help with teeth grinding, TMJ issues, and even mild sleep apnea, providing extra protection and comfort.

4 Reasons for a Mouth Guard

Protection During Contact Sports

Mouth guards shield teeth and jaws from impact injuries, reducing the risk of chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth.

Prevent Teeth Grinding

For individuals who grind or clench their teeth during sleep (bruxism), a custom-made mouth guard provides cushioning and protection.

Relief for TMJ Disorder

Customized mouth guards can help alleviate symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders by stabilizing the jaw joint.

Sleep Apnea Treatment

For individuals with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a mouth guard can help keep the airway open by repositioning the lower jaw and tongue during sleep.

The Different Types of Mouth Guards

Mouth guards come in three main types, each offering varying levels of fit and protection.

Stock mouth guards are pre-formed and readily available at sporting goods stores, but they often provide a poor fit and minimal protection.

Boil-and-bite mouth guards are softened in boiling water and then molded to fit the wearer’s teeth.

Custom-made mouth guards are recommended for the highest level of fit and protection.
