Benefits of Custom Athletic Mouthguards at Sunrise Dental
Custom athletic mouthguards provide comprehensive protection that goes far beyond what generic guards can offer. Our precisely fitted guards ensure maximum coverage of your teeth and gums while maintaining comfort during use. The personalized fit allows for normal breathing and speaking, which is especially important during intense physical activity. Athletes often report better concentration during their sport because they’re not constantly adjusting an ill-fitting guard.
The superior materials we use in our custom guards offer enhanced durability and protection. These guards maintain their shape over time and resist the deterioration often seen in store-bought alternatives. The exact fit also means better shock absorption and distribution of impact forces, significantly reducing the risk of dental injuries, concussions, and other trauma.
What to Expect During Your Athletic Mouthguard Fitting
Your custom mouthguard process begins with a thorough evaluation of your dental structure and discussion of your specific athletic needs. We’ll take precise digital impressions of your teeth to ensure an exact fit. This comfortable, quick process captures every detail of your dental anatomy, allowing us to create a guard that fits perfectly.
During the consultation, we’ll discuss different material options and thicknesses based on your sport and level of play. Contact sports like football or hockey might require more robust protection, while other activities might benefit from a lighter design. We’ll help you choose the best option for your specific needs.
Once your custom guard is ready, we’ll ensure it fits perfectly and provide detailed care instructions. We’ll show you how to properly insert and remove the guard, clean it effectively, and store it safely between uses. We’ll also schedule regular check-ups to monitor the condition of your mouthguard and ensure it continues to provide optimal protection.
