The Importance of Occlusal Sports Guards
Participating in sports, especially contact sports, increases the risk of oral injuries. Occlusal sports guards, also known as mouth guards, are essential for anyone looking to protect their teeth, gums, and jaw from impacts and injuries during sports activities. Benefits of using a sports guard include:
- Injury Prevention: Reduces the risk of chipped or broken teeth, nerve damage to a tooth, or even tooth loss.
- Shock Absorption: Helps dissipate the force of a blow, protecting against jaw fractures.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance: With the assurance of protection, you can focus better and perform at your best.
Our Custom Sports Guards Fitting Process
Getting the right fit is crucial for effectiveness and comfort. Here’s how we create a custom sports guard for you at Model Dentistry:
- Initial Consultation: Discuss your specific needs and sports activities with Dr. Raborn.
- Impressions: Take accurate impressions of your teeth to ensure the guard fits perfectly.
- Fabrication: Your guard is custom-made using durable, safe materials that offer maximum protection.
- Final Fitting: Once fabricated, you'll come in for a final fitting to ensure comfort and adjust if necessary.
