Mouth guards should be used by anyone who plays contact sports such as:
- football
- soccer
- basketball
- ice hockey
- lacrosse
Even those participating in noncontact sports can benefit from a mouth guard.
There are three types of Mouthguards:
Stock mouth protectors – preformed and ready to wear. Inexpensive, but bulky and provide the least protection.
Boil and bite mouth protectors – Readily available, made from a thermoplastic material that molds to mouth for a better fit.
Custom-fitted mouth protectors – Provides most comfort, best fit and protection. Most Expensive.
