Sports related injuries account for a large percentage of dental and oral trauma. Fortunately, the risk of broken teeth and facial injuries can be significantly minimized by wearing a sportsguard or mouthguard. The highest level of protection and comfort will come from a custom made mouthguard that is specifically designed for an individual.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Custom-Made Mouthguards :&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Protect your teeth<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lowers the risk of facial fractures or a concussion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minimizes the risk of jaw and tooth fractures by absorbing energy from any impact&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Does not hinder speech or breathing<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Are Generic Mouthguards just as good as custom versions?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many mouthguards you can purchase over the counter. Options like \u2018make your own\u2019 boil and bite kits can be purchased at sporting goods stores or even a pharmacy. But these generic mouthguards are designed to fit almost anyone. Which actually means they don\u2019t fit any one well enough to protect their teeth from harm. Also the one-size-fits all option tends to be less than comfortable. It is best to invest in a mouthguard that will fit your mouth perfectly so you can breathe normally, speak normally and not hinder any performance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When playing sports, quality gear is essential.
