Protect Your Smile with Custom Dental Mouthguards at Sovrle Dental in North York

Are you or your child active in sports or experiencing teeth grinding at night? Dental mouthguards can provide essential protection for your teeth and jaws. At Sovrle Dental in North York, we offer custom-fitted mouthguards designed to keep your teeth safe. This guide will help you understand the importance of dental mouthguards and their role.

What Are Dental Mouthguards?

Dental mouthguards protect them from damage during sports or teeth grinding. They are made from durable materials and custom-fitted to ensure comfort and protection.

Types of Dental Mouthguards

1. Sports Mouthguards: Protect athletes from dental injuries during contact sports like hockey, football, and martial arts.

2. Night Guards: Worn during sleep to prevent teeth grinding and clenching. The night guard prevents tooth wear and jaw pain.

3. Orthodontic Mouthguards: Designed for patients with braces. They protect both the teeth and orthodontic appliances.

Benefits of Custom Dental Mouthguards

• Optimal Protection: Custom-fit ensures the most coverage and absorption of impact.

• Comfortable Fit: More comfortable than options you might find at the store.

• Durable Materials: Made from high-quality materials that last longer and provide better protection.

• Improved Performance: Comfortable mouthguards allow you to breathe and speak better during sports.

• Prevent Injuries: Reduces the risk of chipped or broken teeth, root damage, and even concussions.

Is a Dental Mouthguard Right for You?

You might need a custom dental mouthguard if you:

• Play Contact Sports: Involved in activities where collisions are common.

• Grind or Clench Your Teeth: Experience jaw pain or notice wear on your teeth.

• Wear Braces: Need extra protection for orthodontic appliances during sports.

• Desire Better Protection: Prefer a custom-fit solution over generic store-bought options.

Note: Our dentists will assess your needs to determine the best type of mouthguard for you.
