Custom Sports Guards
A custom-fitted oral appliance designed to protect teeth and soft tissues during athletic activity.
What is it
A professionally fitted oral appliance made from durable material that cushions the teeth, lips, and jaw against impact during contact sports and physical activity.
How it works
Impressions of the teeth are taken, and a durable, custom-fitted guard is fabricated in a lab to precisely fit the patient's bite and provide maximum protection during athletic activity.
How it helps
Protects teeth, soft tissues, and the jaw from sports-related trauma, reducing the risk of broken teeth, lacerations, and concussions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who might consider this treatment?
Athletes of any age who participate in contact or collision sports, including football, basketball, soccer, martial arts, and hockey.
What is the typical experience?
Impressions are taken at one short appointment and the finished guard is picked up shortly after. The fit is checked and adjusted before the patient leaves.
How long does it usually take?
Impressions are taken at a single short appointment and the finished guard is ready within one to two weeks. The fit is checked and the patient is ready to go in just a few minutes.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
A custom guard fits more securely and offers better protection than a boil-and-bite store option. It should be stored in its case when not in use and rinsed after each wear to keep it clean and free from bacteria.
What should I know about recovery after?
No recovery is needed. Sports guards are non-invasive to fit and patients can resume normal activity right away after the impression or pickup appointment.
