Whether you play impact sports regularly or you suspect you may grind your teeth at night, a custom mouthguard is a cost-effective solution at avoiding future dental damage. Here are some frequently asked questions regarding custom mouthguards:

What sports require a mouthguard?

Many impact sports require a mouthguard, and even if they don’t–it’s a good idea to have one on hand just in case. Sports like football, baseball, wrestling, cheerleading, and gymnastics typically require a mouthguard to be utilized by each participant.

Should I buy an over-the-counter mouthguard?

While an over-the-counter mouthguard is acceptable, we recommend a custom mouthguard created specifically for your teeth. Unfortunately, over-the-counter options are a one-size-fits-all approach to teeth protection. This is an issue because everyone’s teeth are of different shapes and sizes.

You may find that you spend more time adjusting your over-the-counter mouthguard and struggling to keep it in your mouth. We create custom mouthguards at Linton Dental using your own dental impressions for a more snug and comfortable fit.

How will a mouthguard help me with my teeth grinding?

Wearing a mouthguard at night will help hold your jaw in a comfortable resting position while also protecting your teeth. Even if you do manage to grind your teeth together while using the mouthguard, the plastic material will protect your teeth from damage.

How long does a custom made mouthguard last?

Your custom mouthguard could last up to five years with proper care. We recommend replacing your mouthguard every year to keep it fresh, fitting, and in good shape.

How do you take care of a custom mouthguard?

When you remove your mouthguard after each use, be sure to rinse it with warm water to remove any plaque. We recommend using a soft bristle toothbrush to clean your mouthguard.

How do I know if my mouth guard fits properly?

When you first put your mouthguard in, it may feel tight. This is because it needs to be snug enough to stay in place without the help of your jaw. This will ensure your custom mouthguard will not fall out because of its secure placement.
