What Are Custom Sports Mouthguards?

Custom sports mouthguards are individually crafted protective devices designed to shield your teeth, gums, and jaw from impact during athletic activities. Unlike generic over-the-counter mouthguards, custom versions are made from precise impressions of your teeth, creating a perfect fit that maximizes both protection and comfort. These professional-grade mouthguards are fabricated from high-quality materials that absorb and distribute impact forces, significantly reducing the risk of dental trauma.

At Kearns Family Dentistry, we create mouthguards tailored to your specific sport and individual needs. The custom fabrication process ensures proper thickness in critical areas while maintaining a comfortable fit that doesn’t interfere with breathing or speaking. Our mouthguards are designed to stay securely in place during activity, providing consistent protection without the need for constant adjustment or jaw clenching to keep them positioned.

The creation process involves taking detailed impressions of your teeth, which are used to fabricate a mouthguard that fits your mouth perfectly. This precision fit not only enhances protection but also improves comfort significantly, making it more likely that you’ll actually wear your mouthguard consistently during sports activities.

Why Wear a Sports Mouthguard?

Sports mouthguards are critical for anyone involved in high-contact or even non-contact sports where there is a risk of falling or being hit in the face. Whether you play football, basketball, soccer, hockey, or even participate in activities like skateboarding or gymnastics, a properly fitted mouthguard can help reduce the risk of dental injuries.

Here are a few reasons why wearing a sports mouthguard is important:

Protection Against Impact: A custom sports mouthguard acts as a cushion, absorbing and distributing the force of any impact to your face or mouth. This helps prevent damage to your teeth, gums, and jaw during physical activity.
Preventing Tooth Loss and Damage: Without proper protection, a fall or a hit to the mouth can lead to serious dental injuries like chipped or broken teeth, tooth loss, and damage to soft tissues like the gums and tongue. A mouthguard helps minimize these risks by creating a barrier between your teeth and the external force.
Concussion Prevention: Custom mouthguards can also help reduce the risk of concussions by absorbing shock during contact sports. By cushioning your jaw and preventing it from snapping shut upon impact, mouthguards can lessen the force transferred to your head, reducing the likelihood of a concussion.

We understand that no two mouths are the same. That’s why we offer custom-fitted mouthguards designed specifically for your unique teeth and mouth structure. Custom mouthguards offer superior protection and comfort compared to over-the-counter options, ensuring you get the best fit and performance.

How Are Custom Sports Mouthguards Made?

At Kearns Family Dental, we provide custom sports mouthguards that are designed to fit perfectly and offer the highest level of protection. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

Initial Consultation: During your visit, we’ll evaluate your dental needs and discuss the sports or activities you participate in. This helps us determine the best type of mouthguard for your specific situation. Whether you need a mouthguard for football, basketball, or any other sport, we’ll customize it to suit your needs.
Taking Impressions: We will take precise impressions of your teeth to create a mold that perfectly fits the contours of your mouth. This ensures that your mouthguard provides optimal coverage and comfort without restricting breathing or speech.
Creating Your Custom Mouthguard: Once we have your dental impressions, we send them to a lab where your custom mouthguard is made from high-quality, durable materials. These materials are specifically designed to absorb shock and withstand impact, providing maximum protection for your teeth, gums, and jaw.
Fitting and Adjustments: Once your custom mouthguard is ready, we’ll schedule a fitting appointment to ensure it fits snugly and comfortably. We’ll make any necessary adjustments to ensure it provides the protection you need while allowing you to speak, breathe, and play comfortably.

Custom sports mouthguards offer superior protection and a better fit than store-bought, generic mouthguards. They’re designed to stay in place during physical activity, offering peace of mind for both athletes and parents.
