benefits of custom mouthguards
Although custom mouthguards may take longer to receive compared to store-bought one-size mouthguards, we believe they are a worthwhile investment for many patients. Custom mouthguards are molded to fit the exact shape of your teeth, making them more comfortable to wear for extended periods. Our experience shows that patients are more likely to consistently wear comfortable mouthguards, leading to better protection for their teeth. Additionally, our custom mouthguards are highly durable and typically last several years before needing replacement.
Process for receiving a custom mouthguard
When you choose to protect your teeth with a custom mouthguard, the first step is to take impressions of your smile. This can be done at the end of a regular dental appointment or we can schedule a brief appointment for you. Your impressions will be sent to a lab off-site to create your custom oral appliance. Once we receive your mouthguard, we will schedule another quick visit for you to try it on. Any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a perfect fit before you can take it home with you!
How will I know if I need a mouthguard?
If you participate in aggressive contact sports such as football, basketball, or martial arts, a custom mouthguard can help prevent injuries. If you experience teeth grinding at night or wake up with jaw pain, it may be a sign that you need a custom nightguard. Our team can assess your teeth and gums for signs of bruxism.
