What is a Sportsguard?

A sportsguard, or mouthguard, is a protective dental device that covers your teeth and gums during physical activities. Made from durable materials, it is designed to absorb and distribute the impact of blows to the face or mouth, significantly reducing the risk of tooth damage, jaw injuries, and other oral traumas.

There are three main types of mouthguards:

  1. Stock Mouthguards
    These are pre-made, ready-to-wear guards that offer limited customization and comfort. While inexpensive, they are often bulky and less effective.

  2. Boil-and-Bite Mouthguards
    These are softened in hot water and then molded to your mouth. While better than stock mouthguards, they still don't offer the same level of comfort and protection as custom-made options.

  3. Custom-Fitted Sportsguards
    Created specifically for your mouth, custom sportsguards provide the best fit, comfort, and protection. Dr. Rabizadeh takes impressions of your teeth to ensure the guard fits perfectly, providing optimal protection and comfort during your athletic activities.

Why You Need a Custom Sportsguard

While it’s tempting to grab a generic mouthguard from a store, custom sportsguards offer several advantages that protect your teeth and overall oral health:

  • Perfect Fit: Custom sportsguards are tailored to the unique shape of your mouth, ensuring a snug and comfortable fit.

  • Maximum Protection: A custom guard offers superior protection against tooth fractures, jaw injuries, and damage to the soft tissues of your mouth.

  • Enhanced Comfort: Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom sportsguard fits securely and won’t interfere with your breathing or speaking.

  • Durable: Custom sportsguards are made from high-quality, durable materials that provide long-lasting protection.
