Sports Guard
 A
specially fabricated mouth guard can be made for your teeth. This guard fits
over the upper or lower teeth to prevent broken or chipped teeth due to tooth-to-tooth
contact. It is appropriate for sports where incidental contact with solid objects
and other participants is common.
The smaller size and secure fit of a custom lab created mouth
guard provides these advantages:
- Clearer speech - when communication with teammates is important
- More comfortable fit - so it's less distracting
- Less restricted breathing - for improved performance

Dental injuries in sports are primarily due to tooth-to-tooth
contact. Being accidentally bumped in the chin with an elbow is not what
directly causes most dental injuries. It's the collision of the lower teeth
with the upper teeth after the bump that causes the damage. A mouth guard
worn on the upper or lower teeth cushions the blow to protect both the upper
and lower teeth. |
