Mouth Guards.
If you, or your child, play any contact sports, a custom-made sports guard that has proper shock absorbing technology is essential to shield and protect your teeth and give you peace of mind during your training.
Prevention of dental trauma is always better than cure as injuries can end up causing irreversible damage to your teeth.
Dental Art is also a preferred provider for the OPRO group and as such, our team regularly visit local sports clubs and schools to provide mouthguards to young sports men and women.
-
Children or adults who play a contact sport that increases the risk of a hit to the face. This includes sports such as basketball, football, boxing, martial arts, lacrosse, hockey or rugby.
A custom guard fitted by your dentist is the highest quality and does the best job at protecting your teeth and mouth.
-
Your dentist uses a digital or traditional impression of your teeth to custom-make a mouthguard that comfortably fits your teeth and mouth.
Custom-fitted mouthguards cost a little more, but they provide the best fit and protection for your mouth and teeth. A custom mouthguard will be made specifically for your needs, for protection from trauma during athletic training or competition.
We recommend that you avoid using store-bought boil-and-bite mouthguards, as they can result in a cumbersome fit, and the inferior materials could cause additional bite or protection problems.
-
Mouth guards work by moving the lips and soft tissues away from the teeth, preventing wounding of the lips and cheeks.
They can shield and protect the teeth from a direct blow and can significantly reduce any force from the lower jaw colliding into the upper jaw, causing less stress on the teeth, jaw and neck.
