Mouth Guards in Raynham, MA
What Are Mouth Guards?
Mouth guards are protective devices for the mouth that cover the teeth and gums to prevent and reduce injury to the teeth, arches, lips, and gums. They are an essential piece of equipment in combating sports injuries and are also used to treat TMJ disorders and bruxism, commonly known as teeth grinding.
Types of Mouth Guards:
- Stock Mouth Guards: Pre-formed and ready to wear, which can be bought at stores. However, they often don't fit perfectly.
- Boil and Bite Mouth Guards: Made from thermoplastic material, they are placed in hot water to soften, then inserted and allowed to adapt to the shape of your mouth.
- Custom-Fitted Mouth Guards: Made by a dentist from a mold of your teeth to provide the best possible fit and protection.
Benefits of Using Mouth Guards:
- Injury Prevention: Helps cushion a blow to the face, minimizing the risk of broken teeth and injuries to your lips, tongue, face, or jaw.
- Decreased Risk of Concussions: Mouth guards can help absorb the shock from a blow to the face, which might otherwise cause a concussion.
- Protection Against Bruxism: Custom mouth guards can prevent teeth grinding during sleep, reducing jaw pain, and preventing tooth damage.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance: With the assurance of protection, athletes can focus better on their sports without fear of injury to their mouths.
Custom Mouth Guard Fitting Process:
- Initial Consultation: Discuss your needs and the level of risk involved in your sports or condition.
- Impression Taking: An impression of your teeth is taken to create a mouth guard that fits perfectly.
- Mouth Guard Fabrication: Your custom mouth guard is crafted in a dental lab using durable, safe materials.
- Final Fitting: Once completed, you'll have a final fitting to ensure comfort and optimal protection.
