Our Custom Made Mouthguard Options
Sport Mouthguards
A sports mouthguard is a sturdy oral appliance used when playing sports or participating in a physical activity that can potentially damage your teeth or mouth. This custom mouthguard can prevent your teeth from becoming chipped or knocked out, as well as avoid damage to your lips and the soft tissue in your mouth.
Whether you’re playing a high-contact sport like football or a solo sport like skiing or snowboarding, it’s always a good idea to take measures to protect your smile.
Night guards
A night guard is a comfortable nighttime appliance for patients who grind or clench their teeth while sleeping. This condition, called bruxism, can damage your enamel and threaten the health of your teeth. While the night guard won’t prevent you from grinding your teeth, it’ll protect your smile from its harmful effects.
Dr. Clemenson also may be able to supply you with a night guard to combat loud snoring during the night. This oral appliance gently repositions the teeth when you sleep to prevent snoring and allow you and your partner to get quality sleep.
Caring for Your Mouthguard
Taking proper care of your custom mouthguard is crucial to its longevity and performance. To get the most out of your appliance,
Dr. Clemenson recommends patients:
Brush and floss their teeth as normal before putting in their mouthguards.
Rinse their mouthguard with cold water or mouthwash before placing it in their mouth and after taking it out.
Avoid rinsing with hot water, as this can warp the mouthguard’s shape.
Clean their mouthguards regularly with toothpaste
Bring their mouthguards to their dental appointments so we can ensure it fits and functions properly.
Store their mouthguards in a hard container with ventilation for protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Mouthguards play a crucial role in protecting the mouth from injuries during contact sports or high-impact activities. One of the top reasons is to safeguard your teeth against damage caused by impacts or accidental falls. Moreover, mouthguards can also help alleviate the symptoms of bruxism (teeth grinding) and preserve the overall oral health and appearance of your smile.
Night guards and mouthguards are generally safe dental appliances that should not cause teeth to shift. According to JS Dental Lab, a provider of night guards and mouthguards, it is essential to have a custom-made night guard to prevent unintended tooth movement, which could actually exacerbate teeth grinding.
Our dentists will work closely with you to design a properly fitted night guard that protects your teeth without causing discomfort or shifting. If your night guard feels overly tight, causes discomfort, or if you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office. We are here to assist you.
Custom-made mouthguards are better than store-bought mouthguards because they are tailored to fit the unique shape and size of an individual’s mouth for a better, more comfortable fit. In contrast, over-the-counter mouthguards are one-size-fits-all and often don’t provide the same level of comfort or protection as a customized mouthguard. An over-the-counter mouthguard can also cause unintended tooth movement, exacerbate teeth grinding and create more dental issues and expenses in the future.
Typically, mouthguards last between six months to one year, but the lifespan depends on the frequency of use, proper care and storage, and the type of material of the mouthguard. It’s best to replace a mouthguard if it shows signs of wear or tear or if it no longer fits properly.
