The short answer
A custom mouth guard is a dental appliance made to fit your bite precisely, protecting your teeth from grinding, clenching or impact during sports. Your visit includes an exam and a digital scan or impression, and the guard is then fabricated from durable material for a secure fit. Night guards help prevent enamel wear, fractures and jaw discomfort, clenching guards cushion jaw pressure, and sports guards protect the teeth and soft tissues during high-impact activities.
Mouth Guard FAQs
- Do I need a custom mouth guard?
- A custom mouth guard is recommended if you grind or clench your teeth or have jaw discomfort. It is also recommended if you play sports that carry a risk of impact. A custom guard fits snugly and stays secure through sleep or activity. That makes it more effective than a bulky store-bought guard.
- How long does a custom guard last?
- Many custom mouth guards last several years with proper care. How long yours lasts depends on how heavily you grind or clench and how well you look after it. We check the guard for wear during routine visits. That makes sure it keeps protecting your teeth.
- Can a mouth guard stop teeth grinding?
- No, a mouth guard will not stop the grinding habit itself. A night guard protects your teeth from the wear, chips and fractures that grinding causes. It also reduces strain on your jaw muscles. That can ease jaw discomfort and tension.
- Are custom guards more comfortable?
- Yes, custom mouth guards are more comfortable than store-bought guards. They are tailored to your bite, which makes them slimmer and more secure. A better fit also makes them easier to wear consistently. Consistent wear is what provides real protection.
- Can children get custom mouth guards?
- Yes, children can get custom mouth guards. They are especially helpful for young athletes. They also help children who grind their teeth at night. We take a scan or impression so the guard fits your child’s bite.
- How do I clean my mouth guard?
- Clean your mouth guard by rinsing it after each use and brushing it gently with a soft toothbrush. Store it in a ventilated case between uses. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material. Bring your guard to checkups so we can check its condition.
- How do I schedule an appointment?
- Scheduling a mouth guard appointment is simple. Call our office or contact our team to book a fitting or ask questions. Your visit includes an exam and a digital scan or impression of your teeth. We then fabricate your custom guard for a secure fit.
