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
- Greater protection against concussions

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. |
