Why Choose A Custom Built Mouthguard?
Although sports and other recreational activities are an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, it’s no secret that injuries can happen. In fact, sports-related accidents are one of the most common causes of orofacial injuries. Athletes – especially those involved in contact sports are prone to suffering from damage to their teeth, gums and mouth. These types of injuries can be prevented by wearing quality mouthguards that cover your teeth and gums to prevent damage. Studies have also shown that wearing a mouthguard not only protects your teeth, but reduces the probability of having a concussion after a collision in contact sports as well.
There Are 3 Different Types Of Mouthguards
- Stock – These are ready-to-wear mouthguards. Among the three, these are the most affordable option. However stock mouthguards provide the least amount of protection and are also usually uncomfortable to wear.
- Boil & Bite – These mouthguards are intended to fit your teeth. The lining can be softened with boiling water after which you bite into them to take the shape of your mouth. They are not a perfect fit so although better than stock mouthguards, they can still be uncomfortable to wear.
- Custom-fitted – These provide the most protection for your teeth, gums, lips and jaw. Custom-made mouthguards are crafted by your dentist to ensure that they perfectly fit. They provide cushioning and shock absorption while being very comfortable to wear.
