Protect Your Smile: The Importance of Custom-Fit Sports Guards
It is important for athletes to participate in sports for a healthy lifestyle, but there are risks such as dental injuries. Even with helmets and pads, many athletes overlook the importance of a properly fitted mouthguard. We strongly encourage all athletes at Allen Dental Lounge, regardless of age, to use custom mouthguards to protect their teeth and prevent serious injuries.
Why Store-Bought Mouthguards Fall Short
Custom-made mouthguards provide better protection than those purchased over the counter. Generic mouthguards are typically uncomfortable and may easily slip out, making them less effective in preventing injuries.
The Advantages of Custom-Fit Mouthguards
Custom-fitted mouthguards provide top-notch protection by fitting securely and comfortably, reducing the chances of dental injuries like chipped, fractured, or knocked-out teeth. These mouthguards are customized to your mouth for a superior fit compared to generic options, enhancing performance and confidence during sports. Additionally, they improve speech clarity by minimizing interference, allowing for clear communication during games. Crafted from high-quality materials, custom-fitted mouthguards are more durable and long-lasting than store-bought alternatives.
The Custom Mouthguard Process
At Allen Dental Lounge, we strive to provide a seamless and comfortable experience when getting a custom-fitted mouthguard. The process begins with taking an impression of your teeth during your appointment. This impression is then sent to a dental laboratory where your personalized mouthguard is meticulously crafted. Once it is ready, you will return to our office for a final fitting and any needed adjustments.
Protecting Your Smile
According to the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA), nearly 40% of dental injuries are a result of sports activities. By getting a custom-fitted mouthguard, you can significantly reduce the risk of these injuries.
At Allen Dental Lounge, we prioritize protecting your smile. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn about the benefits of custom-fitted sports mouthguards.
