Sports-related dental injuries are far more common than many people think, with thousands of athletes suffering preventable dental trauma every year. From chipped and broken teeth to jaw fractures and soft tissue injuries, the consequences of not wearing appropriate protective gear can be severe and far-reaching.

An athletic mouthguard acts as a vital barrier, protecting teeth from impact, absorbing and dispersing the force of blows, thereby reducing the risk of injury. Mouthguards not only protect teeth but also guard the lips, tongue, and jaw, preventing expensive dental emergencies and preserving your natural smile.

The importance of protective sports mouthguards extends beyond contact sports like boxing, martial arts, and rugby; even activities like cycling, skateboarding, and basketball carry a risk of facial injury. Children's sports mouthguards are particularly crucial, as young athletes are more prone to accidents and their developing teeth require extra protection. Athletes undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces especially need to consult for custom-made sports mouthguards, as standard over-the-counter mouthguards may not fit perfectly over orthodontic brackets.

Comparison Between Custom Sports Mouthguards and Standard Mouthguards

While over-the-counter standard mouthguards may seem convenient and affordable, they often fail to provide adequate protection and comfort. Standard mouthguards typically have a poor fit, are bulky, uncomfortable to wear, and can easily dislodge during sports, which might actually increase the risk of injury.

Our custom-tailored sports mouthguards offer significant advantages. These professionally crafted mouthguards are made from impressions of your unique dental structure, ensuring a perfect fit and secure retention. Custom mouthguards provide superior protection while allowing you to speak clearly and breathe easily, helping athletes perform at their best.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
 

How long does a Reborn custom sports mouthguard last?

With proper care and regular use, a custom sports mouthguard typically lasts 1 to 3 years. The exact lifespan depends on the intensity of use and the athlete's age. Children may require more frequent replacements as their mouths grow and develop.
 

Can I still wear a custom sports mouthguard if I wear braces?

Yes, sports mouthguards can be specifically designed to accommodate braces and other orthodontic appliances. Wearing a mouthguard is particularly important for athletes with braces, as metal brackets and wires can cause additional injury under the force of sports impact.
 

How do I clean my sports mouthguard?

After each use, clean the mouthguard with cool water and antibacterial soap or a dedicated mouthguard cleaner. Dry it thoroughly or let it air dry, and store it in its protective case. Do not wash the mouthguard with hot water, as heat can warp and deform it.
 

Which sports require wearing a protective mouthguard?

Sports mouthguards are typically mandatory in combat and contact sports like boxing, martial arts, karate, taekwondo, and rugby. However, we recommend wearing a mouthguard during any sport with a risk of facial contact or falls, including basketball, skateboarding, and cycling.
 

Will wearing a sports mouthguard affect my breathing or speaking?

A properly fitted custom sports mouthguard should not significantly affect breathing or speaking. Unlike bulky, over-the-counter mouthguards, professionally made custom mouthguards provide protection while maintaining normal oral functions.
