Mouthguards

Protect Your Smile with Our Custom Mouthguards

Tailored Protection for Athletes and TMJ Patients

We offer custom-made solutions for both athletes and individuals seeking relief from teeth grinding (bruxism). Our sports mouthguards are essential for athletes in contact sports, providing robust protection against dental injuries by cushioning blows that could cause broken teeth and injuries to the lips, tongue, face, or jaw. Each sports mouthguard is custom-fitted to ensure maximum comfort and effectiveness in shielding against impacts.

For those suffering from nighttime teeth grinding or TMJ disorders, our custom-fitted night guards offer a preventive remedy. These night guards help distribute the pressure from jaw clenching and prevent the wear and tear on your teeth. Beyond protecting against tooth damage, night guards can also alleviate jaw strain and reduce headaches caused by bruxism. With precise fitting, our mouthguards and night guards ensure not only protection but also comfort, preventing any potential disturbances during your activities or sleep.

  • How do I care for my mouthguard?

    To extend the lifespan of your mouthguard, rinse it under cold water after each use and clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste at least once a week. Store it in a firm, perforated container to allow air circulation and prevent damage.

  • How often should I replace my mouthguard?

    We recommend replacing your mouthguard every 6 to 12 months, depending on the frequency of use and signs of wear. Athletes in contact sports may need to replace their mouthguards more frequently to maintain optimal protection.

  • Why are mouthguards important for athletes?

    There are several reasons why wearing a mouthguard when playing sports is important. Firstly, mouthguards protect against displacing teeth by distributing force evenly across all your teeth, preventing a single tooth or a few teeth from bearing the full force of an impact. They also protect against injuries to soft tissues such as the tongue and gums and can help prevent jaw and tooth fractures. In addition, mouthguards may help reduce the risk of concussions by absorbing some of the force between the upper and lower rows of teeth and lessening the impact of the jaw pushing on the skull.
