Protect Your Smile with Custom Mouth Guards

At Keele & Steeles Dental Office, we understand the importance of protecting your teeth and jaws during physical activities and while you sleep. Custom mouth guards offer a comfortable and effective solution for safeguarding your smile from injury and preventing dental issues such as teeth grinding and clenching.

Types of Mouth Guards

  • Sports Mouth Guards: Custom sports mouth guards are specially designed to provide protection during athletic activities. They are made from durable materials that absorb impact and distribute forces evenly, reducing the risk of dental injuries such as broken teeth, knocked-out teeth, and jaw fractures.

  • Night Guards: Night guards, also known as occlusal guards or bite splints, are custom-fitted appliances worn while sleeping to protect against teeth grinding (bruxism) and clenching. They create a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, preventing wear and tear on tooth enamel and alleviating symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, and muscle tension.

Benefits of Custom Mouth Guards

  • Custom Fit: Custom mouth guards are designed to fit your unique oral anatomy, providing superior comfort and protection compared to over-the-counter options.

  • Enhanced Protection: Custom mouth guards offer optimal protection against dental injuries and conditions such as bruxism, ensuring the long-term health and integrity of your teeth and jaws.

  • Improved Performance: Sports mouth guards are proven to enhance athletic performance by reducing the risk of dental injuries and allowing athletes to focus on their game with confidence.

  • Prevention of Dental Issues: Night guards help alleviate the symptoms of bruxism and prevent the long-term consequences of teeth grinding, such as worn enamel, tooth fractures, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
