Superior Dental Protection With Mouthguards
in North Austin, TX
For athletes and active individuals, dental injuries like chipped teeth, fractured jaws, and soft tissue damage are a constant concern. These injuries can compromise your oral health, making it difficult to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
At Myers Dental of North Austin, we prioritize your dental safety by offering custom-made mouthguards designed to provide the protection you need—whether you’re involved in high-impact sports, want to safeguard dental restorations, or need relief from dental issues.
Types of Mouthguards
Choosing the right mouthguard is crucial for effective protection. Here are the options available on the market:
1. Pre-made Mouthguard
These offer basic protection and are readily available, but their one-size-fits-all design often results in a poor fit, providing less protection than other options.
2. Boil-and-Bite Mouth Guards
These can be softened in hot water and molded to your teeth for a better fit than pre-made guards. However, they still fall short of the protection offered by custom-made mouthguards.
3. Custom-Made Mouth Guards
Custom-made mouthguards are the gold standard in dental protection. Created from impressions of your teeth, they offer the best fit, comfort, and protection. At Myers Dental of North Austin, we use advanced technology and materials to ensure the highest quality for each custom mouthguard.
Importance of Custom Mouthguards in Contact and Non-Contact Sports
Custom mouthguards are essential for both contact and non-contact sports. Whether you’re playing football, water polo, or martial arts, a mouthguard is crucial to preventing injuries like chipped teeth or soft tissue damage. Even for non-contact sports or fitness routines, custom mouthguards can help protect dental restorations or support ongoing orthodontic treatment.
Our Approach to Custom Mouthguard Designs
At Myers Dental of North Austin, we begin the process with a thorough dental checkup to identify any factors that may affect your mouthguard’s design. Using dental impressions and state-of-the-art technology, we create a perfectly tailored fit for maximum comfort and protection. We can also customize mouthguards to meet specific needs, such as adding stress relief features for patients with high stress levels or integrating fitness tracking capabilities for tech-savvy user
Mouthguard Maintenance
Caring for your custom mouthguard is simple. After use, clean it with a toothbrush and cold water, then store it in a protective case. If needed, enzymatic cleaners can help remove debris. Regularly inspect your mouthguard for wear and tear, and replace it as necessary—typically each sports season.
