Millions of people suffer sports-related facial and dental injuries every year. High-contact recreational activities—especially those where players frequently collide with each other, the ground, or equipment like bats and balls—carry a significant risk of oral trauma.

Wearing a mouthguard drastically lowers your chances of damaging your teeth, lips, tongue, cheeks, and jaw. This sturdy, removable plastic device fits comfortably over your teeth to absorb impact. Most mouthguards protect the upper teeth, but we can design them to cover the lower teeth if your specific situation requires it. If you have braces or certain dental restorations, you might need a specialized guard to ensure proper coverage.

You can choose from three main types of mouthguards: ready-to-wear stock options, boil-and-bite models, and custom-made guards from your dentist. Our dental team will help you find the ideal option to keep your smile safe. While store-bought guards provide a basic level of defense, a custom-fitted mouthguard crafted by your dentist always offers the highest level of comfort and protection.
