- Fit and Comfort: Custom guards are designed just for you, molding perfectly to your smile. This means they'll be comfortable to wear during sports or at night and won't irritate your gums. Plus, a relaxed fit means you're more likely to actually wear it, which is crucial for keeping your teeth safe!
- Protection: A custom mouthguard offers more than just comfort. Because it fits exactly right, it absorbs impact much better than generic options.
- Speech and Breathing: Generic guards can be bulky and make it difficult to speak and breathe. Custom mouthguards are designed to be slimmer and more comfortable so you can go about your activities without feeling restricted.
Who Can Use a Mouthguard?
Whether you're a weekend warrior on the soccer field or a nighttime teeth grinder, a mouthguard can be your smile's best friend. Here are some situations where a mouthguard is a smart choice:
- If you participate in contact sports, a mouthguard can shield your teeth from potential impact.
- Do you wake up with a sore jaw? Grinding your teeth at night can damage your teeth, but luckily, a mouthguard can protect them.
- If you experience pain or discomfort in your jaw joint (TMJ), a mouthguard can provide much-needed support and stability.
Getting Your Custom Mouthguard is Easy!
First, we'll chat to see what you need the mouthguard for and make sure it's the right call for your needs. Then, if we decide it is, we'll take a quick impression of your teeth to create a guard that fits like a glove. Once it's ready, we'll make sure it feels comfortable in your mouth and give you tips on how to keep it clean.
A custom mouthguard isn't just about safeguarding your smile – it's about comfort, too! Since it's made especially for you, it won't slip around or irritate your gums. This means you'll actually want to wear it, which keeps that protection working its magic.
