A mouthguard is a dental appliance designed to protect the teeth and mouth during various activities, especially sports and other high-impact activities. It helps prevent injuries to the teeth, gums, and jaw. Benefits:
Injury Prevention: Mouthguards significantly reduce the risk of dental injuries during sports activities.
Protection Against Teeth Grinding: They can also be used at night to prevent damage from bruxism (teeth grinding).
Jaw Protection: Mouthguards help protect the jaw from impacts that could lead to fractures or dislocations.
It may take time to get used to wearing a mouthguard, but a custom-fit option can enhance comfort significantly.
