Who Can Benefit from Custom Guards?
Many kids can greatly benefit from custom mouthguards, including:
- Young athletes: Active kids who play sports such as soccer, basketball, football, hockey, martial arts, and gymnastics.
- Kids with bruxism: Children who regularly grind or clench their teeth during sleep, causing discomfort or dental issues.
Custom vs. Off-the-Shelf Mouthguards
When considering mouthguards for your child, you might wonder about the difference between custom and off-the-shelf options. Here’s why custom mouthguards are the better choice:
- Better fit: Custom guards are precisely tailored to your child’s teeth, ensuring maximum comfort and protection.
- Higher protection: Due to the superior fit, custom guards provide significantly better protection against injuries and damage.
- Durability: Custom guards use higher-quality materials, resulting in a longer-lasting device.
- Improved comfort: Custom-fit guards won’t slip or interfere with breathing and speaking, encouraging consistent use.
What Are Custom Athletic Mouthguards?
Custom athletic mouthguards are specially crafted dental devices designed to protect your child’s teeth and gums during sports and physical activities.
Unlike over-the-counter options, our mouthguards are individually tailored to perfectly fit their unique smile, providing maximum protection and comfort.
Benefits of Custom Athletic Mouthguards
- Superior protection: Significantly reduce the risk of tooth fractures, soft tissue injuries, and concussions.
- Comfort: Custom fit ensures your child can breathe and speak easily, promoting consistent use.
- Long-lasting durability: Made from high-quality materials designed to withstand impact and wear.
What Are Custom Occlusal Guards?
Occlusal guards, also known as night guards, are custom dental devices created specifically to prevent damage caused by teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism). Bruxism can lead to tooth wear, sensitivity, jaw pain, headaches, and disrupted sleep.
Benefits of Custom Occlusal Guards
- Protect teeth from damage: Prevent tooth enamel wear, fractures, and sensitivity caused by grinding.
- Relieve jaw pain and tension: Alleviate symptoms of TMJ disorders, headaches, and facial discomfort.
- Improve sleep quality: Reduce nighttime disturbances for better rest and overall well-being.
