Frequently Asked Questions About Athletic Mouthguards

Professional, custom made mouthguards are typically fabricated from a high quality, BPA free thermoplastic or a specialized medical grade acrylic. Unlike the cheap rubber or plastic found in store bought "boil and bite" versions, these materials are:

  • Biocompatible: Safe for long-term contact with your gums and saliva.
  • Energy Absorbent: Designed to "give" slightly under impact to dissipate force away from your teeth.
  • Odor Resistant: Less porous than over the counter plastics, so they don’t trap bacteria as easily.

Yes. While contact sports like football or boxing have clear risks, many dental injuries occur in "limited contact" or "non contact" sports like basketball, gymnastics, skateboarding, or volleyball. An accidental elbow to the face or a fall onto hard ground can easily result in a fractured or knocked out tooth. Wearing a guard is a simple way to prevent a dental emergency.

Since your mouthguard is a breeding ground for bacteria, proper hygiene is essential:

  1. Rinse immediately: Use cool water or mouthwash after every use.
  2. Brush gently: Use a soft bristled toothbrush and non abrasive soap. Avoid toothpaste, as it can create microscopic scratches that trap bacteria.
  3. Store dry: Keep it in a ventilated case.
  4. Avoid heat: Never leave it in a hot gym bag or car, as heat can warp the custom fit.

Yes, and you should. In fact, wearing a mouthguard is even more critical for patients in orthodontics. An impact to the mouth can drive the metal brackets into the soft tissues of the lips and cheeks, causing painful lacerations. We create specialized guards with a "brackets channel" that protects the appliances and your teeth without interfering with the alignment process.

  • For Adults: Once a year or every few seasons, provided the fit remains snug and there are no signs of thinning.
  • For Children & Teens: Usually every 6 months or every new sports season. Because their mouths are constantly changing as new adult teeth erupt, a guard that fit perfectly in the fall may be dangerously loose or uncomfortable by the spring.
