Mouthguards
Custom-fit mouth guards are prescribed and created by a dental professional and are based on a detailed mold taken of your mouth and teeth. They can be made for either sports or for night-time teeth grinding and are created differently depending on the intended use.

Benefits of mouth guards for both sports-related and nighttime-related uses:
​
-
Reduces the risk of concussion from lower jaw impacts while play sports
-
Sports mouth guards protect teeth from being knocked out or fractured
-
Provides a comfortable fit allowing for natural breathing and speaking
-
Prevents jaw fractures by acting as a cushion between upper and lower jaw
-
Prevents tooth wear and fracture related to grinding or clenching during sleep
​
Often nighttime grinding and clenching is done unconsciously. If you wake up with jaw pain, sore teeth or sore muscles in your head and neck regions, this might be a sign that you need a night guard. Please mention it to your dentist.
