Mouth guards don’t just protect your mouth and teeth, they also serve other purposes. They help decrease the impact of a hit to the jaw, and they’ve been shown to support better athletic performance overall.
Many people also clench their teeth while playing, which can contribute to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMJ. Clenching your jaw the entire game can be exhausting. A properly fitted mouth guard helps relax your jaw, so you can completely focus on the game instead of your grip.
If you or your child are getting ready for a new sports season, a custom-fitted mouth guard can offer better comfort and protection than a generic, store-bought option, and it pairs well with our night guards for patients who also grind their teeth at night.
Call (321) 447-4444 to have us fit you or your athlete with a custom sports mouth guard.
