MouthguardAn Overview
Sports-related injuries are a leading cause of tooth loss in children and adult athletes.
Protect your children’s smile with a custom sports mouthguard. Custom mouthguards safeguard your or your child’s teeth and gums while playing sports. Dr. Kaplan provides custom mouthguards for children and adult patients for the protection of their teeth and gums.
Custom mouthguards are more comfortable, fit better, and have a higher compliance rate than over the counter options. “Bite-and-fit” mouthguards tend to be bulky and cumbersome causing kids to remove the appliance during practice and games. Custom mouthguards fit snugly against the teeth and decrease the chance of them becoming loose while in play. A custom fit mouthguard will also be made to fit over braces or other oral appliances to protect your investment in your smile.
With a custom fit mouthguard, your athletes can focus on the game, not on keeping their mouthguard in place.
