FOR WHOM?
The mouth guard or “mouthpiece” is recommended for the practice, play and competition of contact sports or any sport wherein there is a risk of falls or hits (e.g. martial arts, baseball, basketball, bicycle riding, boxing, football, handball, hockey, wrestling,in-line skating, skateboarding, skiing, soccer, tennis, etc.). It is custom designed from an imprint of your teeth at the dentist’s office for optimum comfort and retention.
WHY?
The mouth guard reduces the risk of brain concussion and of fracture of the jaw or teeth, and it reduces the severity of injuries to tissues in the mouth.
