Sports Guards

Sports guards are dental devices used to protect the mouth and teeth from possible trauma. These vital athletic devices offer protection in sports, as most injuries—in basketball, rugby, hockey, and even gymnastics—affect the face and head. Mouth guards are typically used over the upper teeth to avoid lesions on cheeks and lips, as well as damage to the teeth. If you wear braces or veneers, you must protect yourself even more by wearing one of these devices.

Types of sports mouth guards

Mouth guards can be bought over-the-counter and are easily available at sports shops; however, they have a general size and are both bulky and hard. Although durable to resist force, they are less likely to provide comfort.
A custom-made mouth guard involves taking your teeth impression, then sending the model to a dental lab. This will guarantee more comfort, security, and a perfect fit. They can also be manually designed to adjust the proper thickness and resistance.

Mouth guards are typically used over the upper teeth to avoid lesions on the cheeks and lips, as well as damage to the teeth. If you’re wearing teeth appliances like braces or veneers, you have to wear this device during physical activities since you can’t remove them. Sports guards will protect both your teeth and its their appliances from a significant impact.
