For children, teens, and adults who play sports, protecting teeth is vital at every turn. You can get the sports guards and mouthguards you need for all of your activities at Merna Tajaddod Orthodontics in Palo Alto, CA.
Sports guards and mouthguards are safety devices that protect your teeth while you play sports or perform other high-impact activities. The devices are especially helpful for children since they tend to be less careful than adults when they play.
There are various types of mouthguards used for sports, including the following:
Premade mouthguards come in standard sizes. You can choose the one that fits your mouth best, but it will likely not be a perfect fit and may slip during use.
Mouth-formed mouthguards mold to your mouth’s shape after being heated and softened. Although they fit better than the premade options, they still may not fit perfectly and could slip during use.
Custom-made sports guards are likely the best option of the three. We can make a mold that fits your teeth exactly right so that the mouthguard is comfortable and protects your teeth at all times without slipping out of place.
