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.
