Who Needs a Mouth Guard?

Mouth guards, also known as night guards, provide essential protection for those involved in activities prone to dental or facial injuries. Whether you’re hitting the field for football, shooting hoops in basketball, or skating on the ice in hockey, a mouth guard protects you against impact injuries. But it’s not just for athletes. If you grind or clench your teeth, struggle with TMJ disorders, or deal with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom-made mouth guard can offer you relief and added protection.

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.

Number Icon One

Prevent Teeth Grinding

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

Number Icon Two

Relief for TMJ Disorder

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

 

Number Icon Three

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.
