What are the benefits of custom athletic mouthguards?
Custom athletic mouthguards are specially made to fit your child’s teeth comfortably and securely. Because they are designed just for their smile, they offer better protection than store-bought options. A properly fitted mouthguard helps reduce the risk of chipped or broken teeth, jaw injuries, and cuts to the lips and cheeks during sports. It also allows your child to breathe and speak more easily while playing.
What is the process for getting a custom athletic mouthguard?
We begin by taking custom impressions of your child’s teeth, which are used to create a mouthguard that fits their growing smile precisely. Their measurements will be sent to an off-site lab, and we typically receive custom oral appliances in about 1-2 weeks. Once it’s ready, we’ll have your child come in to check the fit and make sure it feels comfortable. Then, they’re free to take their new mouthguard home and wear it to their next practice or game!
How long do custom athletic mouthguards last?
Because children’s teeth and jaws are still developing, mouthguards may need to be replaced as they grow. In general, a custom mouthguard can last a few years or longer, depending on how often it’s worn and how well it’s taken care of. We recommend bringing it to your child’s regular checkups so we can make sure it still fits well and continues to provide proper protection.
How do you take care of a custom athletic mouthguard?
After each game or practice, rinse the mouthguard with cool water and gently brush it with a toothbrush. Let it dry completely before placing it in a ventilated storage case. Avoid hot water, which can change its shape. Keeping it clean and stored properly helps prevent bacteria buildup and keeps it ready for the next big game.
