Mouth Guards

Protect Your Smile, Your Braces & Your Overall Health

Mouth guards are versatile dental appliances that provide a range of benefits, whether or not you are undergoing orthodontic treatment.

A blow to the face while playing sports can lead to painful injuries to the soft tissues of the mouth as they come into contact with your teeth or braces. In some cases, teeth can be damaged or knocked out.

Additionally, if you are undergoing orthodontic treatment, your teeth are even more vulnerable than they normally are. When you're wearing braces or Invisalign, your teeth and their roots are shifting and reforming. Until they've reached their final positions and are fully healed, they may be a little loose and susceptible to being knocked out.

A custom-made sports mouth guard from our team at Nalchajian Orthodontics forms a protective, stable barrier to help stabilize the teeth and cushion the blow, preventing such injuries.

For people who clench or grind their teeth at night, jaw pain, headaches, and tooth damage can be real health concerns. Night mouth guards are custom-fitted to fit the precise contour of your smile. They form a cushioning layer between the upper and lower teeth, helping to prevent tooth damage and relieve jaw tension when you sleep.
