Mouthguards
To create a custom protector, your dentist will first make an impression of your teeth. Then using a special material, our dental technician will mould the mouth guard over the model.
Generally, mouth guards are used to protect only the upper teeth, but if you have a fixed dental appliance fitted on your lower jaw or dental braces, your dentist may design a mouth protector for the lower teeth too. An ideal mouth guard is one that is comfortable, durable and easy to maintain. It should not cause any difficulties in breathing or talking. In case of bruxism or teeth grinding, your dentist may recommend a special dental appliance that functions like a mouth guard to prevent the teeth from being damaged by the grinding. This is called a bite splint or a nocturnal bite plate.
