What is Mouthguards?

Custom-fit Protection: Mouthguards are carefully crafted to fit the unique shape of your teeth, providing optimal comfort and effective protection against injury during sports and activities.
Jaw Alignment Support: Designed to promote proper jaw alignment, mouthguards can alleviate discomfort from clenching or grinding teeth, especially during sleep or stressful situations.
Durable and Long-lasting: Made from high-quality materials, custom mouthguards offer a durable solution to protect your teeth from wear and potential trauma over extended use.
Ideal for Active Individuals: Perfect for athletes and active people, mouthguards offer crucial protection from impact-related injuries, reducing the risk of tooth damage, fractures, or loss.
Prevent Damage from Grinding: Mouthguards help absorb the force exerted by teeth grinding, or bruxism, preventing wear and possible fractures caused by repetitive grinding.
Protects Soft Tissues: Custom mouthguards protect the inner cheeks, lips, and tongue from accidental bites, reducing the likelihood of cuts and injuries during activities.

When to Choose Mouthguards?

Frequent Sports or Physical Activity: If you participate in sports or other high-impact activities, mouthguards offer essential protection from sudden impacts that could injure your teeth.
Nighttime Teeth Grinding: Mouthguards are beneficial for those who unconsciously grind their teeth at night, preventing enamel wear and possible dental issues.
Jaw Clenching or Stress: If you tend to clench your teeth under stress, mouthguards help cushion your jaw and reduce tension-related wear.

Why to Choose Mouthguards?

Enhanced Safety for Athletes: With a focus on sports safety, mouthguards protect against common injuries in contact sports, from tooth fractures to soft tissue damage.
Improves Overall Oral Health: By preventing bruxism-related damage, mouthguards contribute to healthier teeth and gums, reducing the risk of future dental complications.
Promotes Comfortable Sleep: Mouthguards provide a comfortable barrier that prevents teeth grinding, allowing for better sleep quality and less morning jaw discomfort.

What Problems Can Mouthguards Fix?

Sports-related Tooth Injuries: Mouthguards shield teeth from impact during sports, preventing fractures, chips, or loss from sudden, forceful contact.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Mouthguards absorb the pressure of grinding and clenching, protecting teeth from excessive wear and possible fractures.
Jaw Pain and Tension: By providing a cushioned surface, mouthguards reduce jaw tension, alleviating pain caused by clenching or grinding during sleep.
Enamel Wear and Damage: Frequent grinding can erode enamel; mouthguards act as a barrier, minimizing damage to teeth surfaces and preserving enamel.
Soft Tissue Injuries: Mouthguards prevent injuries to the lips, cheeks, and tongue by acting as a buffer during accidental bites, especially during sports.
Headache Relief from Clenching: The cushioning of a mouthguard can lessen muscle strain, which often contributes to headaches related to grinding or clenching.

Advantages / Benefits of Mouthguards

Custom Fit for Comfort: Custom-made mouthguards provide a secure, comfortable fit, allowing you to breathe and speak easily while wearing them.
Effective Protection Against Injuries: Ideal for athletes, mouthguards protect teeth from fractures, chips, and even tooth loss in high-impact activities.
Improved Oral Health: By reducing grinding, mouthguards help preserve enamel, decrease the risk of dental issues, and support long-term oral health.
Prevention of Pain and Discomfort: Mouthguards reduce jaw pain and morning headaches by minimizing pressure from clenching or grinding teeth.
Enhanced Sleep Quality: Mouthguards for bruxism reduce nighttime disturbances, allowing for a more restful and uninterrupted sleep experience.
Cost-Effective Solution: Investing in a custom mouthguard can prevent costly dental repairs by protecting against wear, fractures, and injuries.

What is the purpose of a nightguard for bruxism (teeth grinding)?

How do I clean and maintain my mouthguard?

Rinse your mouthguard with cold water after use and brush it with a toothbrush and toothpaste. Store it in a clean, ventilated container when not in use. Regular cleaning and proper storage extend the life of your mouthguard.

How often should I replace my mouthguard?

The lifespan of a mouthguard depends on factors like usage and wear. It’s recommended to inspect your mouthguard regularly and replace it if you notice signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or distortions. Custom mouthguards tend to last longer than over-the-counter options.
