Mouthguards play an important role in protecting your teeth, jaw, and overall oral health. At Monroe Dental and Implants, we provide custom-fitted mouthguards designed to offer superior comfort and protection for patients of all ages. Whether you participate in sports or need protection from nighttime teeth grinding, a professionally made mouthguard can help prevent serious dental damage.
Why Mouthguards Are Important
Dental injuries and teeth grinding can lead to cracked teeth, worn enamel, jaw pain, and long-term oral health issues. Mouthguards act as a protective barrier, absorbing impact and reducing pressure on the teeth and jaw.
Mouthguards help to:
- Protect teeth from sports-related injuries
- Prevent chipped, cracked, or knocked-out teeth
- Reduce jaw strain and muscle tension
- Minimize damage caused by teeth grinding or clenching
- Protect existing dental restorations
Wearing a mouthguard is a simple step that can prevent costly and painful dental problems.
Custom Mouthguards vs. Store-Bought Options
While over-the-counter mouthguards are widely available, they often provide limited protection and can feel bulky or uncomfortable. Custom mouthguards are designed specifically for your mouth, offering a better fit and more effective protection.
Custom mouthguards provide:
- A precise, comfortable fit
- Improved durability
- Better protection for teeth and jaw
- Easier breathing and speaking
- Reduced risk of irritation or slipping
A custom mouthguard ensures reliable protection without compromising comfort.
Sports Mouthguards
Sports mouthguards are recommended for athletes of all ages who participate in contact or high-impact activities. Whether you play recreational or competitive sports, a custom sports mouthguard helps protect your smile from unexpected injuries.
Sports mouthguards are ideal for:
- Contact sports
- Recreational athletic activities
- Youth and adult athletes
- Patients with braces or dental restorations
Protecting your smile during physical activity helps preserve your oral health long term.
Nightguards for Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding and clenching, also known as bruxism, often occurs during sleep and can cause significant damage over time. A custom nightguard helps protect your teeth by cushioning the bite and reducing pressure on the jaw.
Nightguards can help relieve:
- Tooth wear and fractures
- Jaw pain and stiffness
- Headaches related to clenching
- TMJ discomfort
- Muscle tension in the face and jaw
Wearing a nightguard can improve comfort and protect your smile while you sleep.
