Protect Your Smile with Custom Mouthguards and Night Guards
A mouthguard is essential for every athlete in a contact sport and physical activities, regardless of age. A mouthguard softens impacts and can prevent serious injuries that could cause expensive and painful oral health issues. Our mouthguards are custom-made from lightweight materials ensuring they are comfortable and effective. They do not interfere with your regular breathing or speaking.
Night guards, such as our custom night guards in Peachtree Corners are similar to mouthguards but are worn while sleeping to prevent damage caused by bruxism. Bruxism is a disorder that can cause people to unknowingly clench and grind their teeth while asleep. Untreated it can result in teeth fractures, breakages, headaches, and jaw pain.
Stop Teeth Grinding While You Sleep
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can lead to serious damage like cracked or worn-down teeth. Common signs include tooth sensitivity, jaw pain, or visible wear on your teeth. While over-the-counter nightguards are available, they don’t offer the precise fit of custom-made ones. At Peachtree Corners Dentistry, we craft nightguards based on impressions of your teeth for better comfort and protection. If you think you're grinding your teeth, contact us for an assessment, and we’ll provide a personalized solution to prevent further damage.
Mouthguards for Athletes
If you're wondering why mouthguards are so beneficial, here’s why we highly recommend them.
Mouthguards serve two key purposes. First, they help manage TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), often linked to teeth grinding at night. Second, they provide essential protection for your teeth during physical sports activities. Although both types of mouthguards protect your teeth, they are designed for different uses.
Athletic mouthguards are made from durable dental plastic, custom-fitted to your teeth for comfort during sports. These mouthguards not only shield your teeth from impact but also protect against accidental tongue biting.
