Custom Mouth Guards
Protect Your Teeth with a Comfortable, Custom Fit
A custom mouth guard is a specially designed device that fits comfortably in your mouth to help prevent injuries to your lips, teeth, gums, and jaw. Whether you grind your teeth at night or play contact sports, a custom mouth guard creates a protective barrier to absorb impact and reduce damage. Unlike store-bought guards, custom-fit mouth guards are designed based on precise impressions taken by our dental team, offering superior fit, durability, and comfort.
By choosing a professionally made mouth guard, you benefit from enhanced protection and a longer-lasting product. Store-bought guards, such as boil-and-bite or stock models, often provide poor fit and minimal coverage. Custom mouth guards not only offer better retention and stability but also minimize risks of injuries and discomfort that can arise from ill-fitting devices.
Why Custom Fit Matters More Than You Think
Store-bought mouth guards are often made from thinner plastic and shaped generically to fit a wide range of users. These guards may be inexpensive, but they typically last only a few months and can become uncomfortable or ineffective over time. In contrast, custom-fit mouth guards are fabricated using high-quality thermoplastic and tailored to your unique dental anatomy. This provides a secure fit, better comfort, and longer lifespan.
Custom guards are especially important for individuals who play sports regularly or suffer from bruxism. The improved durability and snug fit help prevent dental trauma, enamel wear, and jaw tension. Investing in a custom guard not only protects your teeth but also promotes long-term oral health and peace of mind.
Types of Custom Mouth Guards
Explore our custom-fit options for both athletic activity and nighttime teeth grinding to ensure maximum comfort, durability, and safety.
Sports Guards
Custom sports guards are essential for athletes involved in high-contact sports such as football, hockey, basketball, and rugby. They help prevent trauma to the teeth, lips, and jaw by absorbing impact during physical activity. We also recommend sports guards for recreational activities like skateboarding or cycling.
The ideal sports guard is comfortable, allows for easy breathing, and provides full-coverage protection. Custom fabrication ensures the guard stays in place during movement, offers better shock absorption, and lasts significantly longer than store-bought options.
Night Guards
Night guards are designed for patients who suffer from bruxism, a condition involving teeth grinding or clenching during sleep. Symptoms may include headaches, jaw pain, tooth sensitivity, and worn enamel. Left untreated, bruxism can lead to chipped or fractured teeth and gum recession.
A custom night guard helps distribute pressure evenly and provides a cushion between your upper and lower teeth. Compared to over-the-counter versions, custom guards are more comfortable, durable, and effective. They help protect your teeth, reduce muscle tension, and promote better sleep quality.
