Mouthguards are protection coverings that are worn over the teeth and are quite often used to protect the teeth from any kind of injury during sports.
Types of Mouthguards
Mouthguards are of three types: Stock mouth Protectors, Boil and Bite Mouth Protectors and Custom made Mouth Protectors. Stock mouth protectors are ready to wear mouthguards that are inexpensive and can be purchased from any sports shop or any big departmental stores. However, these mouthguards are quite bulky and makes breathing and talking very difficult. Boil and bite mouth protectors also can be purchased from any leading sports store. Made from thermoplastic material, these mouthguards offer a better fit than stock mouth protectors. This kind of Mouthguard is used by placing it in hot water to soften and then placed in the mouth and shaped around your teeth by applying finger and tongue pressure. Custom fitted mouthguards are exclusively designed and created on an individual basis by a professional dental laboratory. Made up of a special material, this custom made mouth guard offers the perfect fit as well as comfort for the user.
