Custom Mouth Guards Built for Huntersville Smiles
Wearing a mouth guard is a requirement in many sports, and a properly fitted one can help protect teeth from injury.
Sporting goods stores sell inexpensive, ready-to-wear mouth guards that require no fitting, though the fit is often less than ideal. These stock options can feel bulky and may make it harder to talk or breathe comfortably.
A step up from stock guards, semi-custom versions use plastic that is heated and then bitten down on while still warm, which can shape it somewhat to the wearer’s teeth.
The team at The Smile Architects can craft a custom mouth guard from an impression of your teeth, creating a device shaped to fit your mouth for a level of comfort and protection that off-the-shelf options typically cannot match. This custom fit can matter even more for athletes who wear braces.
Please bring your mouth guard along to your dental visits so we can check that it continues to fit properly.
