A
specially fabricated mouth guard can be made for your teeth. This guard fits
over the upper or lower teeth to prevent broken or chipped teeth due to tooth-to-tooth
contact. It is appropriate for sports where incidental contact with solid
objects and other participants is common.
The smaller
size and secure fit of a custom lab created mouth guard provides these advantages:
- Clearer speech - when
communication with teammates is important
- More comfortable fit
- so it's less distracting
- Less restricted breathing
- for improved performance

Dental
injuries in sports are primarily due to tooth-to-tooth contact. Being
accidentally bumped in the chin with an elbow is not what directly causes
most dental injuries. It's the collision of the lower teeth with the upper
teeth after the bump that causes the damage. A mouth guard worn on the
upper or lower teeth cushions the blow to protect both the upper and lower
teeth. |
