Why should I get Sports Guards?

Similar to mouth guards, sports guards shield athletes’ teeth when engaging in sports. They work as a protective cover for the teeth, helping to avoid injuries to the mouth when engaging in high-risk contact sports like football, karate, boxing etc. The importance of sports guards is emphasized to prevent dental trauma, as athletes are more at risk of hurting their teeth while engaging in the sport they enjoy.

The Benefits of Sports Guards

Dental Injury Prevention

These devices aid in preventing dental trauma as they serve as a barrier between the teeth and the source of trauma. Dental injury prevention includes broken teeth, jaw fractures, and trauma to soft tissues.

Comfort Of the Individual

Custom sports fitted guards are recommended over a generic over-the-counter sports guard that is bought in a pharmacy. Custom-fit style fits accurately to the individual's mouth and offers a high degree of comfort and stability.

Athletic Performance

The sports guards are made to fit snugly and allow normal breathing and speech. This allows the athlete to forget about injury risk, perform without distractions, and concentrate more on achieving better results.

Sports Guards Process

  • Consultation and Assessment
The process begins with a dental consultation with Dr Shah, during which your sport and level of activity will be considered in the design of the sports guard. This is very important because it ensures that the guard is made to fit and protect the mouth’s dentition structures.
  • Impressions and Customization
After assessment, impressions of your teeth will be taken to construct a sports guard that has a better fit. This is an essential procedure as it ensures the mouth guard is secure. Only then can it give adequate protection while allowing the athlete to breathe and talk.
  • Fitting and Adjustments
After the sports guard has been made, you will be required to visit Dr Shah to verify that the guard fits and is comfortable for you. She will ensure the guard fits correctly and perform any modifications necessary to improve comfort and efficiency.
