With kids back at school again, you know what that means…fall sports! According to the American Dental Association, each year there are more than 200,000 dental injuries that probably could have been prevented by wearing a protective mouthguard.
Dr. Craig Adelmann recommends professionally-made mouthguards for both professional and amateur athletes alike. These custom mouthguards are 80% more effective than the boil-and-bite types because of their superior fit and retention. In addition, they are thinner, more comfortable, custom-fitted, enable the athlete to breathe and communicate easier, and they will retain their shape long after other store bought mouthguards have worn out.
Custom mouthguards also reduce the chance of teeth breaking by distributing the stress of the impact across the surface of the teeth. A double layer of laminated vinyl with a lingual plate is embedded behind the front teeth. Other important characteristics of the material include strength, softness, compression, and uniform density.
