According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, sports-related craniofacial injuries account for 600,000 emergency room visits each year!
Three types of mouth guards
Custom mouth guards, like True Mouthguards, are made by a dentist or a dental lab and custom-fit to the athlete’s teeth. The process involves making a custom mold of an athlete’s teeth from which a dental lab creates a mouthguard with a tight and comfortable fit. Custom mouth guards provide a perfect fit which makes it easier to keep them in place to provide optimum protection and improve performance. Multi-layers of mouth guard material, directly over a model of the athletes teeth using high heat and pressure, provide the best overall fit and protection.

Custom mouth guard
Self-fit mouth guards (boil-and-bite) offer some protection at a low cost. Unfortunately, they are usually uncomfortable to wear and may make breathing and speaking difficult.
Stock mouth guards are preformed and fit loosely. They are often used with braces to protect and allow for tooth movement.
About 5 million U.S. youths lose teeth each year while
playing sports
Protect Your Mouth
In the United States, 50 million children participate in organized sports. Of those, there is a 10% chance each season for an injury to the face or mouth. With more than 5 million teeth being lost each year to such injuries, mouth guards are becoming more popular and required in many sports. More than 200,000 facial injuries are prevented annually with the use of mouth guards.
The use of mouth guards has been mandated for youth and high school football, lacrosse and ice hockey since the 1970's. Fortunately this has led to a decline in the number of dental and jaw injuries for these sports. However, recent studies show that the majority of mouth injuries occur in limited contact sports, such as baseball, basketball, soccer, field hockey, softball, and gymnastics. Injuries to the mouth and jaw, such as broken, cracked and lost teeth, jaw and joint fractures are PAINFUL and HARD to treat.
Custom-fit sports mouth guards help protect your teeth, gums, tongue, and lips. Even though they are not yet required for all sports, mouth guards are recommended by the Massachusetts Dental Society, the Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, and the American Dental Association. In fact, the American Dental Association (ADA) recommends wearing mouth guards for 29 sports! Don't wait for the mandate.
