Mouthguards
Our custom-made mouthguards are made to fit your mouth and protect your teeth and jaw joints against injuries that occur while playing sports. At Daniel Tan & Associates, we recommend custom mouthguards for active children and adults, especially for high-impact activities such as boxing, soccer, hockey and football, as playing sport is one of the most common causes of dental injury.
Are custom-made mouthguards comfortable to wear?
Custom-made mouthguards are painless and are specifically designed to protect your mouth from damage when you play sports. You may feel some discomfort when you first start wearing your mouthguard. However, this will not last long and should resolve once you get used to wearing it.
How are custom-made mouthguards made?
Your dentist will take impressions of your teeth. Then the team in our in-house laboratory will create a mouthguard that provides the perfect fit, matching your teeth and gum line.
How do custom-made mouthguards work?
Custom-made mouthguards protect your mouth and teeth from injury when playing sports. These differ from mouth-formed and ready-made over-the-counter products. Custom-made mouthguards are an exact fit for your mouth to lessen the impact when anything makes contact with your teeth or jaw.
