If you have a young football player who gets hit in the head, their helmet will protect their teeth from getting directly hit, but doesn’t stop them from biting down on their tongue when they’re hit hard. This can be worse with braces, because a bracket or wire can get caught in the tissue of the tongue, causing great pain and a lot of blood. You obviously want to avoid this for your youth.
At the same time, you want to avoid an extra visit to the orthodontist to fix the damage done to the braces. Wearing a Game On athletic mouthguard can prevent your athlete from biting their tongue and from getting their braces caught in their tongue or other soft tissue in the mouth, saving them from agony and saving you from the cost of an extra orthodontic visit.
If your youth is playing a game like soccer, basketball, or hockey, there is the chance they can get hit in the face with a ball, puck, or even a spare elbow or foot. This can be especially detrimental to a player with braces, because not only could their teeth come loose or be shoved up into their gums, but there is so much potential for soft tissue damage. Their lips, cheeks, tongue, and the roof of their mouth are all in danger without a Game On athletic mouthguard.
