MOUTHGUARDS
Protect your smile with a custom sports mouthguard
Whether you're on the field, court, or track, a mouthguard is essential for many athletes. Mouthguards help protect your gums, teeth, and jaws from injury during practice and on game day. They are designed to protect against potential damage from sports injuries, teeth grinding, and other physical impacts.
Are mouthguards necessary?
Though you may find over the counter mouthguards that fit okay, a custom mouthguard offers many benefits. They fit much more securely over teeth, staying in place while you enjoy you stay active. This also allows for better speech and better focus on your activity.
Having a custom athletic mouthguard made for you by our team at Godley Family Orthodontics is simple and well worth the comfort and security it provides to protect your smile. A well-fitted mouthguard covers braces and retainers and protects against potential dental trauma. Talk with your orthodontist about which mouthguard is right for you.
