Mouthguards
Mouthguards are worn over your teeth to prevent injuries while training or participating in contact sports.
They offer protection against chipped or broken teeth and injuries to gums and lips.
Mouthguards are recommended football, rugby, martial arts, boxing, soccer, basketball, squash, hockey, competitive skiing/snowboarding, skateboarding, gymnastics, and acrobatics.
A good sports mouthguard should be:
- Well-fitting
- Professionally made
- Enable normal breathing
- Easy to clean
- Durable and tear resistant material
Types:
Stock mouthguards:
- Inexpensive
- Pre-made
- Not comfortable
- Bulky
- Not specifically made for your mouth
- Can restrict normal breathing
- They do not offer ideal protection
Boil and bite mouthguards:
- Pre-made shape
- Usually found in pharmacies and sports stores
- Need to be boiled and placed in the mouth while warm
- Very easy to be rendered useless if a mistake is made at this stage
Custom-made mouthguards:
- Individually designed to fit your mouth
- Made professionally
- These are the best and most durable option to protect your teeth
- First appointment, your dentist will take impressions or digital scans of your teeth
- Second appointment, your mouth guard will be brought from the dental laboratory
- It will be checked to confirm a perfect fit and you will be given care instructions
