Athletic Mouthguard Program in Westlake, OH
Why Is a Custom-Made Mouthguard Important?
Your face is often the most exposed part of your body while playing sports. A mouthguard protects the teeth and limits the risk of damage from traumatic impact. It also shields the gums and other soft tissues in the mouth from cuts and tears. Athletes often unconsciously grind or clench their teeth while playing sports, and custom mouthguards can protect your teeth and jaw from damage or fracture caused by clenching and grinding.
Over-the-counter products provide some protection, but they don’t provide the personalized fit, comfort or increased level of protection of custom-made ones. Because custom mouthguards fit more comfortably, both kids and adults are more likely to wear them to protect teeth during sports activities. Not only that, wearing a customized athletic mouthguard can help you avoid painful trauma and costly dental procedures when you’re on the court, rink or field.
