Mouthguards

A mouthguard is a tailor-made, rubber-like shield that fits precisely on your teeth and gums, providing cushioning and safeguarding against harm. It is crucial to wear a professionally crafted mouthguard during any physical contact or object-movement sports like cricket, hockey, boxing, rugby, and football. These activities have the potential to cause dental injuries such as broken teeth or even jaw fractures or dislocations.

Your mouthguard may require regular replacement based on your age. As you continue to grow, new teeth will emerge and shift into place. Consequently, the mouthguard might become either too tight or loose, necessitating its adjustment to match the altered shape of your mouth.

Dental mouthguards are made by taking an accurate impression of your mouth and making the mouthguard fit your own teeth. Your dentist will observe how your jaws bite together to ensure the mouthguard fits your teeth properly.
