Orthodontic Mouthguards at Fossum Family Dental Care
Protect Your Teeth, Mouth, And Braces
Did you know that almost 40 percent of all dental injuries are sports related? If you wear braces, your risk of injury is even higher, because the metal in an your mouth can make injuries more likely for you than for your teammates.
Customized Mouthguards Keep You And Your Investment Safe
Most contact sports require athletes to wear mouthguards.ย Properly fitted mouthguards help protect both an athleteโs teeth and the other athletes on the field.ย However, once we fit your braces, your old mouthguard may not fit properly. An ill-fitting mouthguard is not only uncomfortable, itโs also less effective at protecting you from impact, injury, and damage.
Braces are an investment worth protecting. Even if you donโt always wear a mouthguard while playing sports, youโll want to reconsider while wearing braces. Stray balls and other athletes coming in contact with your orthodontic equipment can be a painful experience. Not only that, but excessive contact can alsoย damage brackets and cause delays in orthodontic treatment.
