Sports Mouthguards At Gutierrez Dentistry

Protect Your Teeth, Mouth, And Braces With A Mouthguard

Did you know that almost 40% of all dental injuries are sports-related? If you wear braces, contact sports don’t only put your teeth at risk, metal in an athlete’s mouth can introduce a host of new risks as well.

Sports Mouthguards Keep You And Your Investment Safe

Most contact sports require athletes to wear mouthguards. Properly fitted mouthguards help protect both an athlete’s teeth and the other athletes on the field. However, once we fit your braces, your old mouthguard may not fit properly. An ill-fitting mouthguard is not only uncomfortable, but it’s also less effective at protecting you from impact, injury and damage.

Braces are an investment worth protecting. Even if you don’t always wear a mouthguard while playing sports, you’ll want to reconsider while wearing braces. Stray balls and other athletes in contact with your orthodontic equipment can be a painful experience. Not only that, but excessive contact can also damage brackets and cause delays in orthodontic treatment.
