Why Do I Need Mouth Guards?

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all athletes with on-going orthodontic care or other dental issues participating in sports; should always wear a mouth guard during practice or games. This will ensure your teeth are protected especially if you’re wearing metal brackets or have just recently finished an orthodontic treatment. We always recommend athletes to wear mouth guards to minimize any chances of a sports-related dental injury.

The Benefits of Athletic Mouth Guards

Our office makes custom-made mouth guards that won't tear the gums, are comfortable to wear for longer periods of time (and is easy to breathe in), and properly fitted to our patient's mouth. This is a key benefit for our patients because most store-bought mouth guards are not designed to fit perfectly in your mouth. Patients can expect the following benefits from our mouth guards, including:

  • Strategically designed to fit in your mouth comfortably
  • Protects teeth from injury or trauma
  • Protects braces from damage
  • Experience no pain or discomfort

Taking Care of Your Mouth Guard

Similar to Invislaign aligners, retainers, and metal braces, it’s always important to properly care for and maintain the durability of your dental appliances. Here are a few tips we recommend:

  • Lightly scrub your mouth guard without vigorously brushing
  • Always store the mouth guard in its protective case when not in use
  • Bring in your mouth guard at each office visit so we can ensure it’s in good shape

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I wear my athletic mouth guard for other activities besides sports?

Yes, athletic mouth guards can be worn for any activity that involves potential impact to the face or mouth, such as skateboarding, rollerblading, or even playing roughhousing games.
