When it comes to protecting your teeth during physical activities, a custom mouthguard is a must-have for every athlete. While standard mouthguards are available, they often don’t provide the same level of protection, comfort, or fit as custom-made ones from a professional dentist.
Custom mouthguards are tailored to fit your unique dental structure, ensuring a snug fit that stays in place during intense movements. They are especially important for contact sports like football, basketball, or hockey, where the risk of dental injuries is high. However, even athletes in non-contact sports, such as gymnastics or cycling, can benefit from wearing a mouthguard to prevent unexpected impacts.
The primary function of a mouthguard is to absorb shock and distribute the force of impact of a knock to the face, which reduces the risk of chipped teeth, injuries to mouth or jaw. Furthermore, they act as a cushion between your upper and lower teeth, preventing them from clashing together during sudden movements.
At Tullamarine Complete Dental, our custom mouthguards are crafted using high-quality materials, ensuring maximum protection and comfort. We work with athletes of all ages to design mouthguards that not only protect but also allow for easy breathing and speaking.
Investing in a custom mouthguard is a small price to pay for safeguarding your smile and preventing costly dental repairs. Book a consultation today to protect your teeth and perform at your best on the field!
