Mouthguards are very important to dental health and have many applications.  Mouthguards can help reduce snoring, teeth grinding (bruxism), and prevent sports injuries.

It is estimated by the American Dental Association that mouthguards prevent approximately 200,000 injuries each year in high school and collegiate football alone.

Whereas “over the counter” mouthguards can be effective, a custom made mouthguard is the best choice.  The custom made mouthguards are designed by your dentist and are the most satisfactory of all types of mouth protectors. They fulfill all the criteria for adaptation, retention, comfort, and stability of material. They interfere the least with speaking and studies have shown that the custom made mouthguard has virtually no effect on breathing.
