Why Custom-Fitted Matters
Sporting accidents are one of the most common causes of dental injury. Every year thousands of people, including children, are treated for dental injuries that could have been avoided or minimised by wearing a protective, custom-fitted mouthguard.
Wearing a custom-fitted mouthguard helps to absorb and spread the impact of a blow to your face, which might otherwise result in an injury to your mouth or jaw.
Over-the-counter mouthguards do not provide enough protection against injuries to your teeth, mouth, or jaw. Dental injuries can be very costly, so it is worthwhile investing in a custom-fitted mouthguard.
The Custom Fitting Process
Custom-fitted mouthguards are made by your dentist, who takes an impression and creates a plaster model of your teeth.
Custom fitting allows your dentist to accurately assess your mouth and provide the best fitting mouthguard that is most appropriate for you.
Benefits of custom-fitted sports mouthguards:
- Superior protection against dental injuries
- Comfortable and secure fit
- Allows for normal breathing and speech
- Durable and long-lasting
- Designed for your specific sport
