Sports/Athletic Guards

Dental athletic guards, often referred to as sports mouthguards or mouth protectors, are specially designed oral devices used to protect the teeth and mouth during sports and physical activities. These custom-fit or boil-and-bite guards are made from resilient materials like silicone or ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and are worn over the teeth and gums.

The primary purpose of dental athletic guards is to absorb and disperse the impact force that can occur during contact sports or activities, thus reducing the risk of dental injuries, such as broken teeth, lip and tongue injuries, and jaw fractures. These guards are essential for athletes of all ages and skill levels, providing a protective barrier between the upper and lower teeth to prevent dental trauma. Dental athletic guards are customized for a comfortable fit, allowing athletes to breathe and communicate effectively while ensuring their oral safety during sports and other physically demanding endeavors.
