Custom Moulded Sports Mouth Guards
Protecting your teeth or your child’s teeth during sport should be one of your top priorities. Because, as with any dental care, prevention is the ideal
approach and a properly moulded mouth guard is a great preventative for injury.
It is far better to adequately protect your teeth if you happen to take a blow to the face, than to have to deal with the consequences without one. Nobody
wants to lose a tooth, not only is it painful it can also be an unnecessary cost to resolve when something as simple to acquire as a mouth guard can
help prevent it.
At About Smiles we offer mouth guards that are individually moulded to fit your mouth. This is achieved by making a precise model of your teeth to ensure
a proper, protective fit. The result is a mouth guard that not only protects your smile, but is also comfortable and, importantly, allows you to breathe
unhindered.
Why a Custom Fit?
The best mouth guards are ones that are custom designed to fit your mouth and are made specifically for you by a dental professional. There are several
reasons why this is the case:
- More comfortable result, designed to the shape and fit of your mouth
- Will be designed so it doesn’t restrict breathing
- The snug fit will mean better retention, so it won’t fall out during activity
- The materials used will be odourless and tasteless
- The result will be tear resistant and impact resistant, without being too bulky
- Soft material on the inside to protect teeth
Options Suitable for Kids
We also create excellent custom mouth guards for children. A custom mould is an ideal choice for your child because the comfortable design will mean they
are far more likely to wear the device during sport than an uncomfortable off-the-shelf option. Plus they will be much better protected than the alternative.
Additionally if your child has braces a custom design can accommodate that, too. Additionally, children love that they can match the colour of their
mouth guard to their team’s colours.
Caring for Your Sports Mouth Guard
To ensure longevity and hygiene of the device it is important you take good care of it. Because everything bacteria needs to thrive exists in your guard:
food, water and porous places to hide. Neglect can affect your oral health, so be sure to:
- Rinse it before and after use
- Clean it in cool, soapy water and rinse thoroughly
- Store and transport it in a sturdy, vented container
- Never leave it in the sun or hot water
- Always check it for wear or damage
