FAQs

What is a mouth guard and why does my child need one?

A mouth guard is a protective device worn over the teeth to prevent injuries during sports or other physical activities. It cushions blows that could otherwise cause broken teeth, cut lips, or jaw injuries. Especially for children involved in contact sports, it’s a simple way to protect their smile.

Are custom mouth guards better than store-bought ones?

Yes. Custom mouth guards are molded specifically to your child’s teeth, offering a better fit and more comfort. This means they’re more likely to wear it consistently and get better protection compared to generic, one-size-fits-all options.

How long does a mouth guard last?

With proper care, a custom mouth guard can last through an entire sports season or longer. However, children’s mouths grow and change, so it’s important to have the fit checked regularly to ensure continued protection.

Can my child wear a mouth guard if they have braces?

Absolutely. We offer specially designed mouth guards that fit over braces and protect both the teeth and the orthodontic appliances. This helps prevent injury to your child’s mouth during sports.
