What Are Sports Mouth Guards?

Sports mouth guards are protective devices worn over the teeth to prevent injuries during physical activities. Whether you participate in contact sports or recreational activities, a mouth guard can help shield your teeth, gums and jaw from damage. We provide custom-fitted sports mouth guards designed for both comfort and maximum protection. These appliances are essential for athletes of all ages, helping prevent injuries that could affect long-term oral health.

How Sports Mouth Guards Work

A sports mouth guard works by absorbing and distributing the force from impacts to the face or jaw, reducing the risk of serious injuries. Unlike over-the-counter options, custom-fitted mouth guards are molded to fit your teeth perfectly, offering better comfort and protection. We will take impressions of your teeth to create a personalized mouth guard that fits securely, allowing you to breathe and speak comfortably while playing.

Custom sports mouth guards are recommended for children, teens and adults involved in activities such as football, basketball, hockey, martial arts and even non-contact sports like gymnastics. They help prevent chipped teeth, broken dental appliances and injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth.

Benefits of Sports Mouth Guards

Wearing a sports mouth guard offers several important benefits:

  • Prevents tooth damage: Shields teeth from fractures, chips and dislocations.
  • Reduces the risk of concussions: Helps absorb impact, potentially minimizing the force transferred to the head.
  • Protects soft tissues: Prevents cuts and bruises to the lips, cheeks and tongue.
  • Protects dental work: Guards against damage to braces, crowns and other dental appliances.
  • Improves confidence: Athletes can play without worrying about dental injuries.
