The Importance of Custom-Fit Sports Mouthguards
Sports mouthguards protect your teeth from injury or displacement during sports and vigorous activities, and they also provide added protection for your head and brain from impacts that may cause concussions.
While generic mouthguards are widely available at drugstores and sports shops, a custom-fit mouthguard provides the most effective protection. Your dentist takes precise impressions of your teeth to create a mouthguard specifically tailored to your mouth, usually for the upper teeth.
This custom fit ensures maximum comfort, stability, and protection, unlike generic options which often fit poorly and can shift during activity.
Why Choose a Dentist-Made Custom Mouthguard?
Although a dentist-made mouthguard may be more costly upfront, it offers superior safety and effectiveness. Factors that contribute to the value include:
- Accurate molds of your teeth for a perfect fit, avoiding at-home molding errors.
- Customization for teeth grinding or clenching, if needed.
- Adjustments for comfort and enhanced protection.
- A slimmer, more comfortable fit compared to bulkier store-bought options.
For athletes or anyone concerned with teeth grinding and clenching, a custom dental mouthguard is the safest and most reliable choice.
