Mouthguards
Mouthguards are created by your dental professional from a special material that is worn over your teeth to protect them from injury often during sports. Often the mouth guards that you buy at the stores are not recommended, will be bulky and can make breathing difficult, and offer little protection. When you order custom-fitted mouth guards, they are individually designed and molded to your teeth to fit perfectly in your mouth and will provide the most comfort and protection.
Mouthguards can be used by children and adult to help limit the risk of:
- Broken/chipped teeth or tooth loss
- Nerve damage
- Mouth injuries to lips, tongue, or soft tissue in the mouth.
Customized mouth guards are the best way to protect yourself! If you have braces or other orthodontic treatment and participate in sports we strongly recommend you have a custom mouthguard. Custom-fit mouth guards created by your dental professional will provide you with the level of protection that you need.
Night Guards
Night guards are also coverings over your teeth to stop them from coming in contact with each other and to protect them from grinding or clenching of teeth at night. These are also custom-made guards that will be comfortable, resist tears, are durable, and do not restrict breathing or speech.
A night guard may be helpful for your if you have any of the following signs:
- Wake up with migraines or headaches
- Pain in your jaw or teeth
- Facial soreness
The night guard will help to reduce damage to your teeth caused by grinding or clenching and will help to prevent jaw disorders. Talk to your dentist about a night guard and they can look for signs of wear and tear and help determine if a nightguard is right for you.
Dr. Arman Nazir and his team can determine your needs to prepare a customized mouth guard or night guard to create the best option for you.
