WHY CHOOSE A CUSTOM MOUTH GUARD?List Item 1
Unlike over-the-counter options, custom mouth guards are designed specifically for the unique shape of your teeth and bite. They are molded to fit snugly, allowing for greater comfort, better protection, and a more natural feel during wear.
Custom mouth guards are commonly recommended for:
- Athletes in contact sports (like football, hockey, or martial arts)
- Teeth grinders or clenchers (bruxism)
- Patients with jaw tension or TMJ symptoms
- Individuals with crowns, bridges, or orthodontic appliances
- Nighttime protection against enamel wear and jaw stress

SPORTS GUARDS
Custom sports guards are essential for protecting your child’s teeth, lips, and jaw during athletic activities. Unlike generic store-bought options, our professionally made mouthguards are designed to fit your child’s mouth precisely, offering superior comfort, stability, and protection. Whether your child plays contact sports or recreational activities, a well-fitting sports guard can help prevent serious dental injuries.
Benefits of Sports Guards:
- Protect teeth and soft tissues from impact
- Help prevent jaw injuries and concussions
- Custom-fit for comfort and secure wear
- Easy to clean and long-lasting

NIGHT GUARDS
If your child grinds or clenches their teeth at night (a condition known as bruxism), a custom night guard can help protect their smile from wear, fractures, and jaw discomfort. Made from safe, durable materials, night guards are molded to your child’s bite for a comfortable fit and peaceful sleep.
Benefits of Night Guards:
- Prevent tooth wear, chipping, or cracking
- Reduce jaw tension, soreness, or headaches
- Promote better sleep by minimizing grinding
