Sports Mouth Guards in Brampton
Sports Mouth Guards
Contact sports and even some recreational activities carry a risk of dental injury. A ball, elbow, or fall can chip, break, or even knock out a tooth. A sports mouth guard is a simple way to reduce that risk. At Brampton Dental Arts, we make custom-fitted guards that are designed to stay in place and feel comfortable while you play.
Why a Custom Guard Matters
Over-the-counter guards can be bulky, hard to keep in, or uncomfortable to wear. Many athletes stop using them because of the fit. A custom mouth guard is made from a mold of your teeth. It fits snugly, lets you breathe and speak more easily, and provides better shock absorption during impact.
When Mouth Guards Are Recommended
We suggest a sports guard for:
Hockey, football, basketball, rugby, and lacrosse
Martial arts, boxing, or wrestling
Soccer and baseball
Recreational sports where contact is likely
Even activities that don’t seem high contact can carry a risk of falls or collisions. A guard is an inexpensive way to protect teeth compared to repairing or replacing them after an accident.
What to Expect When Getting a Sports Guard
The process is straightforward. We take an impression or digital scan of your teeth. The guard is made to match your bite, and we check the fit when you pick it up. Because it’s tailored to you, it feels more natural to wear and offers stronger protection.
Caring for Your Mouth Guard
Rinse it before and after each use. Brush it gently with a toothbrush and store it in a ventilated case. Avoid leaving it in hot water or direct heat, which can change the shape. Bring it with you to regular dental checkups so we can check the fit.
Protecting More Than Just Teeth
A sports guard does more than prevent chipped or broken teeth. It also reduces the risk of lip and cheek injuries, and in some cases can help absorb force that might otherwise affect the jaw joint.
