Mouth Guards

Mouth Guards for Sports

Your dentist can create a custom mouth guard to protect your teeth from injury during sports and other activities where there's a chance that your face will come into contact with another person or object.

If you get hit in the mouth, a mouth guard acts like a cushion that absorbs the impact more evenly. It provides a barrier between your teeth and gums, preventing injuries like chipped or broken teeth and cuts to the mouth.

Mouth Guards for Sleep

Your dentists can also create a custom night guard for you to protect your teeth while you sleep. Depending on the application, a night guard may be either a bite splint or a bite plane.

If you grind your teeth (bruxism), a night guard will act as a barrier to help protect your teeth from damaging each other while you sleep. If you suffer from TMJ disorder, a night guard can help prevent you from clenching your jaw and give you some pain relief.
