woodcrest mouthguardIf you play sports or engage in other hobbies that risk injuries to the face or jaw, then we can help! By creating a custom and durable Pro-Form mouthguard, we can better protect your smile. In today’s blog, the team at Riverside Dental Group talks about how we safeguard smiles of all ages with a custom mouthguard.

The Different a Pro-Form Mouthguard Makes

A traditional boil-and-bite mouthguard from a sporting goods store can be effective, but this effectiveness can be pretty limited. They also need regular replacement, as they don’t hold their shape very well. But we can provide a more effective and durable solution with our Pro-Form custom-made mouthguards. These athletic appliances are made especially for your bite, and each one is created from two levels of laminated vinyl. The appliance also contains a lingula plate that fits behind the incisors in the upper portion of your mouth. The plate helps redistribute pressure to prevent injuries to your teeth, and the multiple-layered laminate means the appliance holds its shape far longer.

Safeguarding Your Teeth

When worn, this oral appliance can help prevent cracked, chipped, and broken teeth, limiting the risk of injuries and negative changes to the health, function, and appearance of your smile. The chances of a partially or fully avulsed tooth (knocked-out) is lowered too. The mouthguard also helps prevent cuts and injuries to your cheeks and gums, and lowers the risk of concussion and even fractures in the face or jaw.

If kids have braces or retainers, this can protect their orthodontics. Kids also enjoy that they be customized, so they can choose their favorite color.

Oral Appliances

Along with creating custom athletic appliances, we can also craft custom oral appliances that fits the same way, but provide different treatment options for smiles. For example, we can use them to address TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) to prevent discomfort and injuries to the teeth. We can also create an oral appliance that helps ease sleep apnea so you wake up feeling more rested and rested!
