MOUTH GUARDS
Mouth Guards
Mouth guards are protective intra oral appliance worn over the teeth and gums to help prevent injuries to the teeth, mouth, and jaw. They are commonly used in sports to protect against impact injuries .
Boil And Bite Mouth Guards
These are made from thermoplastic material that softens in hot water. They are then placed in the mouth and shaped around the teeth using finger and tongue pressure. They offer a better fit than stock mouth guards. These type of mouth guards are recommended in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment who play sports.
