Common questions
Will a mouthguard affect my speaking or breathing during sports?
Custom athletic guards are precisely designed to allow clear speech and natural breathing during physical activities. The exact measurements we take ensure the guard fits securely without excess bulk that could interfere with communication. Athletes can focus on their performance knowing their guard will stay in place without requiring constant adjustment. Many patients report forgetting they're even wearing their guard once they've adjusted to it.
What makes a custom guard better than store-bought options?
Custom guards are crafted using detailed impressions of your teeth to ensure even pressure distribution and proper jaw alignment. This precise fit means you're more likely to wear it consistently, maximizing its protective benefits against grinding damage. The professional-grade materials used in custom guards retain their shape and protective properties far longer than boil-and-bite alternatives. Additionally, custom guards can be adjusted if needed to accommodate any changes in your bite or comfort preferences.
How do I know if I need a mouthguard?
Signs like morning headaches, worn tooth surfaces, or jaw pain often indicate a need for a night guard to protect against grinding. Athletes in any contact sport or activity with fall risks should wear an athletic guard to prevent dental injuries. Your dentist can evaluate specific risk factors during your exam to determine if a mouthguard would benefit your oral health. Regular use of a properly fitted guard can prevent costly repairs and protect both natural teeth and existing dental work.
