What is a Custom Mouthguard
A custom mouthguard is a protective oral appliance made specifically from impressions of your own teeth, designed to fit your mouth precisely and comfortably. Unlike the generic boil-and-bite guards available at sporting goods stores, a custom mouthguard from Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale is crafted from high-quality materials that offer superior protection, a far better fit, and significantly greater comfort during wear. Whether you or your child plays contact sports or you are looking to protect your teeth from the effects of nighttime grinding, a custom mouthguard in Scottsdale, AZ, is one of the smartest and most straightforward investments you can make in your long-term oral health.
Have You Been Searching for the Perfect Mouthguard?
We know a lot of people avoid wearing mouthguards because they’re uncomfortable. They get in the way of speech and sometimes hamper breathing, but custom mouthguards are different. Because they are built around the exact shape of your teeth and bite, they stay securely in place without feeling bulky or restrictive — making them far more likely to actually be worn consistently, which is the only way a mouthguard can do its job.
Why is a Custom-Fit Mouthguard Important
Are you or is someone you love involved in sports? Do you always wear a mouthguard? If not, consider these interesting facts:
- Up to 40 percent of dental injuries are sustained during sports activities.
- The cost of a custom mouthguard is a small fraction of the cost of dealing with dental trauma.
- Not wearing a mouthguard makes you 60 times more likely to sustain an injury to the face and mouth.
- Knocked-out, chipped, or fractured teeth are among the most common sports injuries and the majority of them are entirely preventable with proper protection.
- A poorly fitting store-bought guard can actually interfere with breathing and performance, whereas a custom fit ensures comfort without compromising your ability to communicate or compete at your best.
