At Dieterlen Dental in Tulsa, OK, we understand the importance of protecting your smile during sport and physical activities. Our custom mouth guards offer superior protection against dental injuries, ensuring you can play with confidence and peace of mind. Unlike generic store-bought options, our custom-fit dental mouth guards provide maximum comfort and protection, reducing the risk of concussions and other serious injuries.
A sport mouthguard, also known as an athletic mouthguard or mouth protector, is a flexible appliance worn over your teeth to protect them from impact and injury during sport and physical activity. It acts as a cushion, absorbing the shock of blows and reducing the risk of chipped or broken teeth, lip and cheek injuries, and concussions. It’s an essential piece of teeth protection for athletes of all ages.
Why Choose a Custom-Fit Sport Mouthguard?
While over-the-counter mouthguards are available, custom-fit mouthguards offer several advantages:
1
Superior Protection
Custom-fit mouth guards are designed to fit your teeth precisely, providing maximum protection against impact and injury.
2
Comfort and Fit
They are more comfortable to wear than generic mouth guards, allowing you to breathe and speak easily without hindering your performance. This is crucial for maintaining optimal performance on the field or court.
3
Durability
Custom-made mouth guards are typically more durable and long-lasting than over-the-counter options, offering better value for your investment.
4
Reduced Risk of Concussion
Research suggests that custom-fit mouthguards, sometimes referred to as sport guards, may help reduce the severity of concussions and other head injuries by absorbing and dispersing impact forces.
