Mouthguards
Your smile experiences more than you might think. From playing contact sports to grinding teeth while sleeping, there is a lot of stress put on your teeth and jaw that could lead to problems down the road. But there are solutions to keep you safe.
At Bombay Dental Specialities, we offer custom-made mouthguards designed just for you, for your best protection. Each of them is specifically created to fit your teeth in order to protect them, as well as your gums and jaw.
Each custom mouthguard starts with a comprehensive consultation in which your teeth, bite, and oral health are checked to determine the kind of mouthguard you need. Depending on what kind of protection is required, for sports or night-time teeth grinding, we select the most suitable mouthguard for you.
After that, impressions or digital scans of your teeth are taken. This allows us to produce a custom-fitted mouthguard tailored to your bite. Custom mouthguard fits comfortably without interfering with breathing and speaking and does not move around in your mouth, unlike ready-to-use products.
When your mouthguard is finished, we make sure that it fits comfortably and adjust it if necessary. Also, we give you instructions on how to wear, clean and store it properly to preserve its form and function. It is recommended to bring your mouthguard with you each time you visit our clinic. This will help us track its condition and keep protecting your smile efficiently.
A custom mouthguard protects your teeth from chipping, cracking, fracturing, and other possible injuries while participating in sports or physical activity. It also acts as a cushioning agent for your lips, cheeks, tongue, and jaw.
If you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping, a custom mouthguard creates an additional layer between your upper and lower teeth. This prevents excessive enamel wear, minimises tooth sensitivity, and eases the pressure on your jaw muscles and joints. Due to the individual design, it gives you much more comfort, stability, and safety compared to store-bought alternatives. With proper care and routine dental check-ups, it can serve you for years.
Who should wear a custom mouthguard?
We recommend custom mouthguards for people who play contact sports, engage in physical activities, or grind/clench their teeth while sleeping.
Are custom mouthguards better than store-bought ones?
Yes, since they are custom-made to your individual dental anatomy, providing you with better protection and comfort.
How long does a mouthguard last?
It depends on how often you use it and how you take care of it. We check its condition during your routine dental appointments.
Can a mouthguard help with teeth grinding?
Yes, a custom night mouthguard helps reduce enamel wear and tooth sensitivity as well as eases the pressure on the jaw from grinding or clenching.
