Sports-related dental injuries are common and can be severe, often requiring extensive treatment and significant expense. Custom mouthguards provide essential protection that can prevent tooth fractures, tooth loss, jaw injuries, and soft tissue damage during athletic activities.
Dental injuries from sports can affect both baby teeth and permanent teeth, potentially causing long-term complications for your child’s oral health and development. A knocked-out permanent tooth, for example, may require lifelong treatment and replacement. Even seemingly minor chips or cracks can lead to sensitivity, pain, and the need for restorative treatment. Custom mouthguards absorb and distribute the forces of impact, significantly reducing the risk of dental trauma during sports activities. They’re particularly important for contact sports like football, hockey, and basketball, but can also protect during non-contact activities where falls or collisions are possible.
Professional organizations including the American Dental Association strongly recommend mouthguards for children participating in sports activities. The small investment in a custom mouthguard can prevent thousands of dollars in dental treatment and protect your child’s smile for life.
Custom fit provides optimal protection against dental injuries and jaw trauma.
Precise fit ensures comfortable wear that doesn't interfere with breathing or speaking.
Comfortable fit allows athletes to focus on their game without distractions.
Custom mouthguards offer significant advantages over store-bought options in terms of protection, comfort, and durability. Understanding these differences helps parents make informed decisions about their child’s safety.
Store-bought mouthguards are one-size-fits-all solutions that often don’t fit properly, leading to discomfort and reduced protection. Poor fit can cause breathing difficulties, speech problems, and may even fall out during activities. Custom mouthguards are made specifically for your child’s unique mouth structure, ensuring optimal fit and maximum protection. The precise fit of custom mouthguards means they stay in place during activities and don’t interfere with breathing or communication. This comfort factor is crucial for young athletes who need to focus on their performance without being distracted by ill-fitting equipment.
Custom mouthguards are also more durable than store-bought options, lasting longer and providing consistent protection throughout the sports season. The investment in a custom mouthguard often pays for itself through improved comfort and longevity.
Accurate impressions ensure perfect fit and optimal protection for your child’s unique mouth structure.
High-quality materials and skilled craftsmanship create durable, comfortable mouthguards.
Careful adjustment ensures optimal comfort and protection during athletic activities.
Creating a custom mouthguard is a simple process that typically requires two appointments. Our team makes the process comfortable and educational for both children and parents.
The first appointment involves taking precise impressions of your child’s teeth using comfortable impression materials. These impressions capture the exact shape and size of your child’s teeth and mouth, ensuring a perfect fit. The impressions are then sent to our dental laboratory where skilled technicians create the custom mouthguard using high-quality materials. During the second appointment, we fit the completed mouthguard and make any necessary adjustments to ensure optimal comfort and protection. We also provide detailed instructions on proper use and care of the mouthguard.
The entire process typically takes 1-2 weeks from impression to final fitting, ensuring your child has their custom protection ready for the sports season.
