What Are Mouth Guards?
Your teeth are an important asset that must be protected during activities, just like maintaining a regular brushing and flossing routine. Sports mouth guards are a great way to safeguard your teeth and jaw from potential injury during physical activities. At Kaceli Dental + Medical Aesthetics Studio, Dr. Monika Kaceli and our team specialize in creating mouth guards customized to the needs of athletes at all levels. These protective devices are designed to cover your teeth and gums, absorbing impact and reducing the risk of injuries, such as chipped teeth, fractures, or soft tissue damage. Custom-fit mouth guards offer superior comfort and protection compared to generic options. Contact our Norwood, MA office today for a personalized consultation, and keep your smile safe with a custom mouth guard for sports.
What Should I Expect from Mouth Guards?
A custom sports mouth guard begins with a simple dental visit. During the appointment, we will take impressions of your teeth to create a snug fit specifically for you. This custom fit means the mouth guard won't shift or feel uncomfortable while you play, allowing you to focus on your game without distractions. To maintain your custom mouth guard, it is essential to clean it regularly. After each use, rinse it with cool water and gently brush it using a soft toothbrush and mild soap. Store the mouth guard in a ventilated case to prevent bacteria growth. Regular cleaning will prolong the life of your mouth guard and ensure it remains hygienic and effective.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a mouth guard help prevent dental injuries?
A properly fitted athletic mouth guard absorbs and distributes the force of impact, helping protect the teeth, gums, lips, cheeks, and jaw. This added protection may significantly reduce the likelihood of sports-related dental emergencies.
How long does a custom mouth guard last?
The lifespan of a custom mouth guard depends on factors such as wear, frequency of use, and changes in the teeth or bite. Many patients can use their appliance for several years, though children and teens may require replacements more often as their mouths continue to develop.
Can a mouth guard be worn with braces?
Many athletes with braces wear specially designed mouth guards to help protect both their teeth and orthodontic appliances during sports. A dentist can recommend the most appropriate option based on the individual's orthodontic treatment needs.
