Why do athletes wear mouthguards?
If you’re an athlete participating in a contact sport, getting an athletic mouthguard to protect your teeth, jaw, and lips while you play is highly recommended. Athletic mouthguards help cushion blows to the face, reducing the risk of broken teeth, cuts to the lips and tongue, and even jaw fractures. Whether you need an athletic mouthguard for school sports or a professional league, our athletic mouthguards in Eden Prairie are beneficial.
What injuries can an athletic mouthguard prevent?
An athletic mouthguard should be used by anyone interested in protecting their oral health. They protect against broken teeth, cuts to the lips and tongue, and injuries to the gums and soft tissues of the mouth. Additionally, athletic mouthguards can help prevent jaw fractures and dislocations. By cushioning blows to the face, they reduce the risk of concussions and other traumatic brain injuries, enhancing overall safety and well-being for athletes who participate in contact sports like basketball, boxing, soccer, hockey, or skateboarding.
How is a custom mouthguard made?
We make our custom athletic mouthguards in Eden Prairie through a precise process. First, our team will take an impression of the teeth and gums. Then, using this mold, the custom mouthguard is fabricated from durable materials to fit snugly over the teeth. Our mouthguards are completely customized to ensure optimal comfort and protection. Finally, any necessary adjustments will be made to ensure a precise fit before you wear your mouthguard on the field!
