Sports Guards

Sports players with an active lifestyle could benefit from the range of mouth guards available at the Aesthetic Dental Zone, which can aid protection of the teeth during physically demanding pastimes.

When selecting the protective equipment, patients should ensure the temporary fixture fits comfortably in the mouth, as well as extending to the very back teeth at the top and bottom.

The type of mouth guard worn can be dependent on the sport played by the individual, with low-impact activities normally requiring a thinner layer of protection than sports that include high levels of physical contact such as rugby and Boxing.

People taking part in high levels of physical contact during sports could be provided with increased protection with a custom made Sport Guard here at the Aesthetic Dental Zone

This custom-made device is also designed to provide relief for members of the public who suffer from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, a condition associated with continual straining of the muscles surrounding the jaw. In addition, competitive individuals are likely to experience increased stamina and limited tiredness, which could help them break through barriers and allow them to perform to the best of their ability.

Patients wearing dental braces may also be offered alternative appliances for use during sports matches as their teeth are constantly moving and the custom-made guard is designed to fit perfectly around fixed teeth.
