Sports Mouthguards Mouthguards are coverings worn over your teeth during sports to protect teeth from injury due to impact and collisions.
People generally opt for a single mouthguard to cover their top teeth, however if you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, Dr. Malkinson may recommend having an additional mouthguard made for your lower teeth.
Having a customised mouthguard not only means that it will be effective, but also makes it more comfortable. In addition, it will be easy to clean, long-lasting, and should not impede your breathing or speech.

This is a common question asked by parents when considering a custom mouth guard for their child. The answer is simple...a properly fitted mouthguard can help to absorb the shock from a collision or impact to the face. The protection of a mouthguard can reduce or even completely stop damage to the teeth caused by impacts. Trauma can include chipped, broken or lost teeth, nerve damage and/or soft tissue injuries..
Sports mouthguards are worn over your upper teeth to protect against injury during sports participation. A properly fitted mouthguard should be sturdy and durable, easy to clean, comfortable, resist tears, and should not restrict breathing or talking. Dr. Malkinson will create a custom mouthguard designed to protect your teeth from a contact injury to your mouth or facial area.
