Realizing the Importance of Sports Mouth Wear / Mouth Guard

Sports Mouth guards refer to protection coverings worn over their teeth when playing contact sports. The mouth guard helps in protecting the teeth from any kind of injury or damage while playing. They help in protecting your teeth, tongue, lips, face and jaw.  Further, these mouth guards reduce the impact of injury to the soft tissue when you get hit on the face while playing.

Essentially, there are three types of mouth guards. Namely: boil and bite mouth protectors, stock mouth protectors, and custom made mouth protectors.  Boil and bite mouth protectors can be found in any of the leading sports stores. These mouth guards are made up of thermoplastic material and offer you limited protection. This type of mouth guard is dipped into hot water in order to soften it before shaping it around your teeth by using finger and tongue pressure.

Stock mouth protectors are pretty inexpensive and can be bought from any big departmental store or sports shop. However, the drawback with this type of a mouth guard is that it is quite bulky and can make talking and breathing quite difficult.

Next, you have custom fitted mouth guards that are designed according to individual requirements by professional dental experts in a laboratory. These guards can not only protect your teeth from fracture but also can enhance your performance. Click here to learn more about Performance Enhancing Mouthwear by Under Armour®.
