If you play contact sports, we recommend that you use a custom-made sports mouthguard. Custom-made mouthguards, which are made based on an impression of your teeth, offer much better protection than store bought types because they are designed specifically to fit your unique mouth well. They also lessen the chances of a broken jaw and concussion, and help protect the teeth from damage. Custom-made mouthguards can be fabricated for both adults and children and are highly recommended for anyone who plays sport.
