Professional Sports Mouthguard

A sports mouthguard acts as a cushion to absorb impact, preventing injuries such as broken, chipped, or knocked-out teeth. Mouthguards can help prevent jaw fractures and dislocations by redistributing the force of a blow to the jaw. It creates a barrier between your teeth and the soft tissue of your mouth, protecting your lips, tongue, and cheeks from being cut by your teeth or braces.

Anyone participating in contact activities with a risk of falls or impact. Even non-contact sports like gymnastics, skateboarding, soccer, baseball and volleyball could benefit from a sports mouthguard.

Yes, custom mouthguards are far superior than stock options. The precise fit allows for better protection and shock absorption. Because they are custom-molded to your mouth, they are less bulky and won’t interfere with breathing and speaking. You can even create a custom guard that fits perfectly over orthodontic braces.

Rinse your mouthguard with cold water after each use to remove saliva and debris. Then lightly brush it gently with a soft bristle brush and mild soap. Use a storage case to allow the guard to dry completely and prevent bacterial growth. Avoid direct sunlight or hot water, which can cause it to warp.

The lifespan of a mouthguard depends on how often it’s used and the athlete’s age. It should be replaced annually or every 6 months. If it shows any signs of wear the mouthguard should be replaced immediately. For children and teens a more frequent replacement is needed to accommodate a growing mouth.
