The purpose of a sports guard serves two main functions: to shield your teeth from damage or becoming dislodged during sports or other intense activities, and to provide extra protection to your head and brain, reducing the risk of concussions.
While generic mouthguards are available at most medical stores or sporting shops, for the best protection, it’s recommended to have a custom-made mouthguard specifically designed to fit your mouth. This is achieved by taking impressions of your teeth and crafting a guard, generally for the upper teeth.
Our dental sports guards in Burlington ensure a precise fit, unlike store-bought mouthguards, which are often uncomfortable, poorly fitting, and prone to shifting during activity.
Although it might be less economical to purchase a mouthguard from your dentist, it can be the safest and most sensible option for your teeth, particularly for athletes. If you’re curious about what impacts the cost of a dentist-made mouthguard, consider these factors that can influence the price:
Custom dental mouthguards are strongly recommended for individuals who grind their teeth. These mouthguards are specially tailored to your needs, allowing your dentist to adjust the thickness based on the severity of your grinding and clenching. This personalization ensures optimal protection and comfort. Additionally, using a custom mouthguard can help reduce the wear and tear on your teeth over time.
