Mouth guards are custom-made dental appliances designed to protect your teeth, gums, and jaw from injury or damage. They are commonly used during sports to prevent trauma caused by impacts or falls, as well as for conditions like teeth grinding (bruxism) at night. Made from durable and comfortable materials, mouth guards fit securely over your teeth to provide effective protection without affecting breathing or speaking.
Wearing a mouth guard helps reduce the risk of chipped or broken teeth, soft tissue injuries, and jaw strain. For patients who grind their teeth, they also help prevent wear, sensitivity, and long-term dental problems.
