A mouth guard is a protective device for your teeth and mouth, often used in sports to shield against injuries to the teeth, lips, and gums they are also used at night to prevent damage from teeth grinding (also known as Bruxism) and to address sleep apnea, and more. They are made of soft, flexible material and are custom fitted to your mouth for comfort and effectiveness.

When to use a mouth guard
  1. Athletics: Mouth guards for sports are essential equipment for athletes of all ages and skill levels. Whether you’re playing contact sports or recreational activities, a properly fitted mouth guard can prevent dental injuries, like chipped or knocked-out teeth, as well as protect your jaw and soft tissues.
  2. Bruxism: For those who suffer from bruxism, night guards are a saving grace. They create a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, effectively reducing the harmful effects of teeth grinding during sleep.
  3. Sleep Apnea: Individuals with sleep apnea can benefit from oral mouth guards to help keep their airways open, which provides essential relief from sleep-disordered breathing.
