What is the purpose of using mouthguards in sports?
A mouthguard is specifically created to safeguard the teeth and facial structures from harm or harm. When utilized in sports, it is known as an athletic mouthguard. These mouthguards shield the teeth and gums, offering protection against injuries. Although athletic mouthguards are often linked with sports like football, it is crucial to remember that injuries often happen in sports that do not require wearing a mouthguard, like basketball and softball. Hence, wearing a mouthguard in any sport that the has the potential for injury to the face is very important to protect your teeth and smile.
Do I need to have a custom athletic mouthguard?
Studies show that wearing any athletic mouthguard significantly reduces the risk of injury to the teeth and surrounding structures of the mouth. A simple boil-and-bite mouthguard usually does the job just fine. You can also purchase a mouthguard designed to fit around your braces if you are in orthodontic treatment.
