\u201cThe\u00a0Academy for Sports Dentistry<\/strong>\u00a0recommends the use of a properly fitted mouthguard.\u00a0 It encourages the use of a custom fabricated mouthguard made over a dental cast and delivered under the supervision of a dentist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Without a mouthguard, you risk far more than just chipping a tooth.\u00a0 You could damage\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Teeth<\/li>\n
  • Gum tissue<\/li>\n
  • Supporting bone structure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Not only do you need a mouthguard, but you need\u00a0your own mouthguard<\/u>,\u00a0custom made<\/em>\u00a0by your dentist.\u00a0 Here are just a few of the\u00a0benefits to a custom mouthguard<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0made to fit your teeth and ONLY YOUR TEETH:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The fit is precise, with very little distortion, and also covers teeth at the back of your mouth.<\/li>\n
    • Custom mouthguards have the greatest durability and allow you to sustain the hardest impacts with lower risk of damage, and they\u2019ll be the most comfortable for you.<\/li>\n
    • Your mouthguard will fit snugly, protecting your teeth, gum tissue and supporting bone, and won\u2019t fall out.<\/li>\n
    • Your dentist can ensure that your mouthguard is the correct thickness, unlike \u201cboil-and-bite\u201d products off the shelf.<\/li>\n
    • There is almost no interference with speech or breathing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Don\u2019t want to bother with a custom mouthguard?\u00a0 Think about the drawbacks of off-the-shelf mouthguards before finalizing your decision:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • The fit is not exact and not as comfortable.<\/li>\n
      • The material used is normally thinner than is recommended to provide the best protection.<\/li>\n
      • Off-the-shelf products offer minimal protection for the gums and supporting bone.<\/li>\n
      • They often fall out and can become lodged in your throat.<\/li>\n
      • Non-custom products are less durable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
