Great job 👍 thank you for everything. …
If your child plays sports, you don’t want to worry about them getting hurt – and that includes dental injuries. According to the American Dental Association, athletes who forgo mouthguards are at a significantly higher risk – 60 times more likely – to sustain dental injuries. Make sure your child isn’t one of them by getting them a custom mouthguard.

In the meantime, check out these four advantages of choosing a dentist-fitted sports mouthguard over a generic option:
- Enhanced Comfort – Unlike mass-produced mouthguards, custom guards are made from precise dental impressions. This ensures a perfect fit. A more comfortable guard means your child is less likely to forget to wear it, and it stays securely in place during even the most active play.
- No Complicated Adjustments – Store-bought mouthguards often require a cumbersome boil-and-bite process that can be frustrating and yield unsatisfactory results. In contrast, a dentist-fitted mouthguard is ready to go from the moment you receive it.
- Protection for Orthodontic Devices – For kids with braces, a custom sports mouthguard can be designed to accommodate their orthodontic work. This protects both the braces and their teeth. This is crucial, as orthodontic treatment represents a significant investment.
- Meets Safety Standards – Custom athletic mouthguards are manufactured to meet the rigorous guidelines established by the American Dental Association and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Most over-the-counter options do not adhere to these high standards.
In addition to sports mouthguards, our practice can fit you for a custom night guard that can protect you from damage caused by grinding teeth. Grinding can cause dental issues like chips and cracks, as well as headaches and jaw pain.
