Accidents happen, especially during sports games. While you may not be entirely safe from a rogue ball or an unruly elbow, a well-fitted, customised mouthguard keeps your teeth and jaw safe by spreading the impact from contact and reducing the risk of damage.
Off-the-shelf guards don’t offer the same amount of protection as a properly-fitted, sport-specific mouthguard. Here are four good reasons to go a custom mouthguard at Coolican Denture Clinic:
Guard your pocket
Custom mouthguards protect more than your mouth. A custom mouthguard costs a lot less than dental reconstruction and emergency dental procedures.
An off-the-shelf mouthguard is cheaper than a custom one but if it’s not properly fitted, it’s not going to provide much protection against impact.
Custom goes the distance
Custom mouthguards are made of vinyl material and can be in your team colours.
Because they’re moulded to fit your mouth, a tighter fit means that the mouthguard will last longer, fit better and keep your teeth safe from impact.
ANOTHER CONSIDERATION – THE AIRGARD
AirGard™, is now patented worldwide, it is a thermoplastic mouthguard with numerous air inclusions that increases energy absorption and reduces transmitted forces up to 30% compared to conventional mouthguards.* This will reduce the effects of oral trauma encountered while participating in active sports.
