Mouth Guards and Night Guard Solutions
To protect your teeth and gums during physical activity, a well-fitted mouth guard is essential. Custom-made guards, tailored specifically to your mouth, provide far better comfort and protection than over-the-counter options.
Night guards help reduce the effects of bruxism (teeth grinding), preventing wear, fractures, and jaw discomfort. Both children and adults should use mouth guards during contact sports or high-risk activities such as motorcycling to keep their smiles safe.
