Custom-designed mouthguards and nightguards are made of flexible plastic and molded to fit the shape of your teeth. Athletic biteguards or mouthguards are recommended to protect the jaw and teeth during physical activity and sports such as boxing, footballl, basketball, or other activities where your mouth may get hit. In addition, these guards protect the soft tissues of your tongue, lips, and cheek lining. Nightguards are also recommended for patients who clench or grind their teeth at night as a way to protect their teeth and bite.

 

If you have decided a guard is right for you, we can take an impression of your teeth which will then e sent to a lab to make a custom-fit guard for you. In most cases you can choose from a variety of colors and styles for your guard. On average, guards last between 3 and 10 years.
