Studies have shown that if your front teeth stick out more than 6mm, you will have a 3 times greater risk of dental trauma.
If you’re an athlete with protrusive front teeth, especially if you play contact sports or high-impact games, you’re at a significantly higher risk of dental trauma. This risk is even more pronounced if your front teeth stick out more than 6 mm. Wearing a sports mouthguard and considering dentofacial orthopedics or braces for growing children can help reduce this risk. Remember, ‘Prevention is better than cure’, and in this case, it’s also ‘Cheaper than cure ‘.
An ideal mouth guard should protect your teeth and gums, fit well, allow easy breathing, and be comfortable so that you can focus on your game.
A customized mouthguard is not just any mouthguard. It’s a mouthguard that’s tailored to your unique teeth and bite, ensuring a perfect fit. This means you can focus on your game, knowing your teeth are protected. But that’s not all. A customized mouthguard also allows you to customize the level of protection you need, depending on the sport you play. And it’s designed to extend comfortably to protect the gums and bone surrounding your teeth.
Another great plus is that your customized mouthguard can be personalized with different colors. The colors do not confer additional trauma protection, but it sure does look cool to have team colors or colors that reflect your personality!
Play Hard and Protect Well!
Yes, you can and should wear a mouthguard even with braces on. In fact, dental trauma to the lips can be worse with braces on your teeth. Your mouthguard for braces must accommodate and allow your teeth to move straight and not get in the way of braces treatment.
