In order to safeguard your teeth and gums, a Mouth Guard is needed. Custom-built mouth guards that are designed specifically for you are more effective than store-bought mouth guards.

Evening guards can lessen bruxism (teeth grinding). Mouthguards should be worn by both children and adults during contact sports and activities like motorcycling.

Types of Mouthguards

Stock mouth protectors:

They come ready to wear.
They are inexpensive and can be bought at most sporting goods stores and department stores.

However, little can be done to adjust their fit, they are bulky, make breathing and talking difficult, and they provide little or no protection. Dentists do not recommend their use.

Boil and bite mouth protectors:

They can be bought at many sporting goods stores and may offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors.
The “boil and bite” mouth guard is made from thermoplastic material. It is placed in hot water to soften, then placed in the mouth and shaped around the teeth using finger and tongue pressure

Custom-fit mouth protectors

They are individually designed and made in a dental office or a professional laboratory based on your dentist’s instructions
First, your dentist will make an impression of your teeth and a mouth guard
