Why Do You Need a Sports Guard?

Sports injuries to the mouth, teeth, and jaw are common in both children and adults, especially in contact sports. A sports guard is a protective device that fits over your teeth and helps absorb impact during an accident or collision, reducing the risk of:

  • Tooth damage (cracked or knocked-out teeth)
  • Jaw injuries (jaw fractures or dislocations)
  • Soft tissue injuries (cuts and bruising to the lips, gums, and inner cheeks)
  • Damage to braces or dental work (crowns, fillings, etc.)

The Benefits of a Sports Guard

  • Enhanced Safety: A custom sports guard helps minimize the risk of tooth fractures, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage.
  • Comfort and Fit: Our custom guards are molded to fit the shape of your mouth, providing better comfort and ease of movement compared to standard guards.
  • Breathability: Unlike generic guards, custom guards allow you to breathe, speak, and even drink water comfortably without removing the guard.

Sports Guard Maintenance Tips

  • Clean After Every Use: Rinse your sports guard with cool water after each use. You can also use a soft toothbrush and mild soap to clean it thoroughly.
  • Store Properly: Always store your guard in its case when it’s not in use. This keeps it safe from damage and helps maintain its shape.
  • Avoid Heat: Don’t expose your sports guard to high heat (like hot water or direct sunlight), as this can cause the material to warp.
  • Inspect Regularly: Check your sports guard for any signs of wear or damage, like cracks or holes. If it starts to show signs of wear, it’s time to get a replacement.

Custom guards also stay in place more securely during activity, reducing the risk of injury, while over-the-counter guards often require frequent adjustments and provide less reliable coverage.

Sports guards are durable and can last several seasons with proper care. The lifespan of your guard may vary depending on usage, oral habits, and growth in younger patients.
