Mouthguards

Mouthguards are dental devices that protect your teeth, gums, and jaws from injury during physical activities. They are commonly used in sports where there is a risk of impact to the face or head, but they can also be used for people who grind their teeth at night. Canyons Family Dental offers custom-fitted mouthguards in Sandy, UT, to ensure maximum patient protection and comfort.

Types of Mouthguards

There are three types of mouthguards available:

  1. Stock mouthguards are pre-made, inexpensive ones that can be bought over the counter. Unfortunately, they come in limited sizes, so they do not fit well and may not provide adequate protection.
  2. Boil-and-bite mouthguards are also available over-the-counter and can be set to fit your teeth by heating them in boiling water and then biting into them. While they provide a better fit than stock mouthguards, they are less comfortable or protective than custom-fitted mouthguards.
  3. Custom-fitted mouthguards are made specifically for your teeth and provide the best fit, comfort, and protection. At Canyons Family Dental, we use digital scans of your teeth to create a precise 3D model of your mouth, which is used to make a custom-fitted mouthguard.

The Benefits of Custom-Fitted Mouthguards

Custom-fitted mouthguards offer several benefits, including:

  1. Protection – a custom-fitted mouthguard provides superior protection to your teeth, gums, and jaws compared to stock or boil-and-bite mouthguards. It reduces the risk of broken or knocked-out teeth, cuts to the lips, tongue, or cheeks, and jaw fractures.
  2. Comfort – custom-fitted mouthguards are made to fit your mouth perfectly, so they are more comfortable to wear and do not interfere with breathing or speaking.
  3. Durability – custom-fitted mouthguards are made of high-quality materials designed to last long, protecting for multiple seasons.
  4. Better Performance – custom-fitted mouthguards can help to improve your athletic performance by increasing your confidence and reducing the risk of injury, enabling you to focus on your sport.

How to Care for Your Mouthguard?

To ensure your mouthguard lasts for a long time and provides maximum protection, it’s essential to take care of it properly. Here are some tips for maintaining your mouthguard:

  1. First, rinse your mouthguard with cool water or mouthwash after each use.
  2. Second, brush your mouthguard with a toothbrush and toothpaste after each use.
  3. Third, store your mouthguard in a clean, ventilated container.
  4. Fourth, keep your mouthguard away from extreme heat or direct sunlight.
  5. Finally, regularly check your mouthguard for signs of wear and tear and replace it if necessary.
