Understanding Your Treatment
What Is Mouthguards?
A mouth guard is a custom-fitted appliance that cushions and protects your teeth from harm. Athletic guards absorb impact during sports to prevent chipped or knocked-out teeth, while night guards protect against the wear and pressure of grinding and clenching. Because each guard is made from an impression of your own teeth, it fits securely and comfortably in a way that store-bought versions cannot match.
