Stock mouthguards are used off-the-shelf with no modifications and offer little or no protection. Boil-and-bite mouthguards fit somewhat better because they are molded to the child’s teeth, but they are not thick enough to provide the necessary support for the teeth and jaw. How we create custom mouthguards To fabricate a custom-made mouthguard, we take impressions of the mouth during the first appointment. We use the impressions to make models, and a dental laboratory uses the models to create the mouthguard. During the second appointment, we make slight adjustments to the mouthguard to ensure that it’s comfortable. Each year, millions of children’s teeth are knocked out as a result of accidents during everyday activities like skateboarding and biking. A custom-made mouthguard is a great way to prevent injury and protect your child’s smile. 1400 Broad Street Bloomfield, New Jersey 07003 — 973 338-3101 |
