What Is a
Mouth Guard?
A dental mouth guard is a removable oral appliance that covers your teeth to protect them from damage. It acts as a cushion between your teeth and whatever force might come their way—whether it’s a flying ball, nighttime grinding, or jaw clenching. We offer custom-made mouth guards that are made to fit your smile and jaw perfectly, giving you better protection and comfort.
Are Custom Mouth
Guards Worth It
Over-the-counter mouth guards may seem like a quick fix, but they rarely fit well or offer lasting protection. If you’re looking for something that actually works and feels right, going custom is the way to go. Our custom guards are:
-
Designed just for your mouth, making them more comfortable to wear
-
Made from durable materials that provide better protection
-
Easier to breathe and speak with
-
More effective at preventing serious dental injuries or long-term damage
Types of Mouth Guards We Offer
At Heart of Tradition Dental, we provide custom guards depending on your needs:
Sports Mouth Guards: They protect your teeth and jaw during contact sports like football, soccer, boxing, and hockey. These guards reduce the risk of broken teeth, lip injuries, and jaw trauma.
Night Guards for Bruxism: If you grind or clench your teeth at night, a night guard helps prevent enamel wear, jaw pain, and headaches, all while improving sleep quality.
TMJ Mouth Guards: These special guards help reduce jaw tension and discomfort caused by temporomandibular joint (TMJ) issues.
The Custom
Mouth Guard Process
Getting a custom mouth guard is simple:
Impressions
We take impressions or scans of your teeth to create a precise mold.
Customizations
Your guard is custom-made in a lab using high-quality materials.
Fitting
You return for a fitting to make sure it feels right and works effectively.
We’ll also walk you through how to care for your guard at home to keep it in great shape.
How to Care for
Your Mouth Guard
Taking good care of your mouth guard helps extend its life while keeping your mouth healthy. Here are some tips:
-
Rinse after each use: Always rinse your mouth guard with cool water right after taking it out. This helps remove saliva and debris.
-
Clean it regularly: Use a soft toothbrush and mild soap (or non-abrasive toothpaste) to gently brush your guard. Don’t use hot water, as it can warp the material.
-
Let it dry completely: After cleaning, let your mouth guard air dry completely before storing it.
-
Store it properly: Keep your mouth guard in a ventilated case when you’re not using it.
If you notice any cracks, wear, or changes in fit, let us know.
