Custom-Fitted Mouthguard


Custom-Fitted mouthguard - "For Best Protection and Comfort


Why you need a mouthguard? 
 

 

Sport injuries are common. A high proportion of dental injuries occur while playing sports. These include chipping and fracturing of the front teeth, as well as laceration and bruising of the lips and cheeks.

The Australian Dental Association recommends only professionally made mouthguards be used. This means the mouthguard must be custom-made for each person. A professional sports mouthguard that is tailor-made can help by preventing the lower jaw being forced into the upper jaw. The guard is also effective in protecting the upper front teeth and soft tissues from direct trauma.

 


 
Why custom-fitted mouthguard?


Custom-fitted mouthguards are constructed directly from the mould of your teeth. The main advantage of custom fitting is that it allows the dentist to accurately assess your mouth and provide the optimum dimensions, coverage and thickness of the mouthguard for you. The dentist will also take a history of previous injuries and assess the type of mouthguard appropriate for your sport. These mouthguards are comfortable, allow you to talk easily and do not restrict breathing.
