There are two primary reasons why we suggest the use of mouthguards. Firstly, they can assist with TMD or temporomandibular joint dysfunction, which refers to grinding your teeth at night. Secondly, mouthguards are essential for safeguarding your teeth during physical sports activities. Although both types of mouthguards serve the purpose of protecting teeth, they are designed differently.
Athletic mouthguards are crafted from thick dental plastic that is customized to fit your teeth. This customization ensures a comfortable fit while engaging in sports. These mouthguards not only shield your teeth from facial impacts but also prevent accidental biting of the tongue.
