Protect your smile during sports with custom-fitted mouthguards designed for maximum comfort and safety
Sports mouthguards provide crucial protection for athletes of all ages and skill levels, helping prevent dental injuries that can occur during contact sports and high-impact activities. At Pauley Family Dentistry, Dr. Pauley understands the importance of protecting your smile while maintaining athletic performance. Custom sports mouthguards offer superior protection compared to generic options, fitting precisely to your unique mouth structure while allowing clear communication and comfortable breathing during competition.
Dr. Pauley’s meticulous approach to sports mouthguard design ensures each appliance provides optimal protection without compromising athletic performance. Through detailed impressions and careful fabrication, custom mouthguards stay securely in place during intense activity while distributing impact forces evenly across your teeth and jaw. This precision-fitting process creates a comfortable, durable guard that athletes can rely on for consistent protection throughout their sports seasons.
Custom sports mouthguards provide comprehensive protection against dental injuries, including chipped, broken, or knocked-out teeth, while also helping to reduce the risk of jaw injuries and concussions.
Precisely fitted mouthguards stay securely in place without being bulky or uncomfortable, allowing athletes to breathe easily, communicate clearly, and focus on their performance without distraction.
High-quality materials and expert fabrication create durable mouthguards that withstand the demands of athletic competition while maintaining their protective properties and comfortable fit throughout multiple seasons.
While contact sports like football, hockey, and boxing obviously require protection, many other activities benefit from mouthguards, including basketball, soccer, baseball, skateboarding, and martial arts. Dr. Pauley can help determine if your sport or activity would benefit from mouthguard protection.
Custom mouthguards are precisely fitted to your unique mouth structure using detailed impressions, providing superior protection, comfort, and retention. Unlike generic options, custom guards stay securely in place, don’t interfere with breathing or speaking, and offer better impact distribution and protection.
With proper care, custom sports mouthguards typically last one to two seasons, depending on the intensity of use and the specific sport. Growing children may need replacement more frequently as their mouths develop. Dr. Pauley will evaluate your mouthguard regularly and recommend replacement when needed.
Yes, custom mouthguards can be designed specifically for patients with braces or other orthodontic appliances. These specialized guards provide protection for both your teeth and orthodontic hardware while accommodating the unique shape and positioning of braces throughout treatment.
Rinse your mouthguard with cool water before and after use, clean it regularly with a toothbrush and mild soap, and store it in a ventilated container. Avoid hot water, which can warp the material, and replace it if you notice cracks, tears, or changes in fit.
A properly fitted custom mouthguard should not negatively impact your athletic performance. In fact, many athletes report feeling more confident and playing more aggressively knowing their teeth are protected, and some studies suggest mouthguards may even help reduce concussion risk.
